Rusinskij jazyk

[Andriy Danylenko]

It would be also instructive to provide some references of the opponents (reviews, articles, etc.) published not only under the auspices of the Carpstho-Rusyn Center, Rusynaska obroda, or edited by Prof. Magocsi, but also in Ukrainen (!) or at least by some independent publishers.

As for the Sagner publication, it sounds interesting. Thank you for the info. The rest is, unfortunately, not that much persvuasive from different points of view.

I guess I should have known that just mentioning the Rusyn language would
provoke a discussion.  Not being a linguist, I refrain from participating,
but for those who are interested in the Rusyn language in Slovakia, the
following sources are recommended:
