Rusinskij jazyk

[Edil legno]

"To be or not to be" - it has a lot to do with the politic affairs.Ruthenian language existed and continues to exist   in variety of dialects in four regions of Slovakia,Poland,Ukraine and a part of Rumania.There are 21.150 Ruthenians (Rusini)besides 761.741 Slovaks,31.653 Romes and 6.781 Ucraines in Presov Region (East Slovakia)- 2001.
A.V.Duchnovich has written the first real bukvar-(slabikar)
Knyzycja cytalnaja dlja nacynajuscych in 1847  (Budin). 
Before 1938 existed in Uzhorod (the first Czechoslovak republic) Russkaja derzhavnaja gimnazija where both Russkij (pisalos' s dvumja "s" kak velikorusskij jaz.) i Rus'kij (s odnim "s" i mjagkim znakom - eto byl i rusinskij jazyk - smes' rusinskogo razgovornogo i ukrajinskogo jazykov) were taught.The students have written and spoken rusyn  not only at home but even at school - and this without any codified  form!No problem! It became a problem only when politika vmeshalas'.After 2 WW and Benesov Decrets all minorits nationalitis were afraid to exist.It was more opportune to become Slovak and Czech nationality.
