In the former Yugoslavia, they are called Rusins, and their language
is different, at least to a certain degree. The written forms differ
in alphabet and letter frequency as well.

Due to relative isolation, I assume.  They and their dialects are found 
mostly in the Vojvodina (northwestern Serbia and eastern Croatia) and are 
referred to by the following names: Yugoslavo-Rusyn, Vojvodina-Rusyn, 
Bačka-Rusyn or Pannonian Rusyn (after the Pannonian Plain).  Traditionally, 
the common name is "Rusnak" (as opposed to "Rusyn" for the Carpatho-Rusyns). 
They themselves call their language  (бачваньска) руска бешеда _(bakan'ska) 
ruska bešeda_ or (бачваньски) руски язик _(bakan'ski) ruski jazik_.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
