Rusin (meaning literally Rusyn, Ruthenian) is a Slavic language/dialect spoken in north-western Serbia and eastern Croatia (therefore also called Yugoslavo-Ruthenian, Vojvodina-Ruthenian or Bačka-Ruthenian). It is closer to West Slavic languages, to Slovak in particular. Rusyn is one of the official languages of the Serbian Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages), a group of closely related languages of the Slavic peoples and a subgroup of Indo-European languages, have speakers in most of Eastern Europe, in much of the Balkans, in parts of Central Europe, and in the northern part of Asia. ...

While it is classified as a microlanguage by Serbian authors, it is considered a Ukrainian dialect in Ukraine (which does not recognize Rusyns as a nation) and simply a Rusyn/Ruthenian dialect by Slovaks and (northern) Rusyns. Ethnologue consideres it a Slovak dialect. Ethnologue: Languages of the World is a web and print publication of SIL International (formerly known as the Summer Institute of Linguistics), a Christian linguistic service organization which studies lesser-known languages primarily to provide the speakers with native language biblical texts. ...
Like the (northern) Rusyn language, it constitutes a mixture of some Eastern Slovak dialects and East Slavic features (namely, Russian Church Slavonic, Russian and [Old] Ruthenian). This mixture is due to the fact that these Rusins emigrated to Bačka from Eastern Slovakia around the middle of the 18th century. Like most Rusyns, they are Greek Catholics and therefore have closer ties with Ukraine. The language also has some southern Slavic features, and it is sometimes called "a Slavic Esperanto".

Since the Rusyn language was officially not recognized/prohibited in Ukraine and in Czechoslovakia in the past (Ukrainian was prescribed for Rusyns), the Rusins in Yugoslavia, where the language was recognized, had to create their own language codification: The language has been codified by Mikola Kočiš (Микола Кочиш) in Правопис руского язика ('Orthography of Rusin', 1971) and Ґраматика руского язика ('Grammar of Rusin', 1974) and is written with Cyrillic letters. The Cyrillic alphabet (or azbuka, from the old name of the first letters) is an alphabet used to write six natural Slavic languages (Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian) and many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe. ...
Rusins themselves call their language (бачваньска) руска бешеда or (бачваньски) руски язик. Their cultural centre is Ruski Kerestur (Руски Керестур, Serbian: Ruski Krstur). Although the number of Rusins (Pannonian Ruthenians) is much lower than that of the Rusyns (Transcarpathian Ruthenians) — just 23,286 according to the Yugoslavian census of 1981 — they were lucky to live in a multinational state that granted them certain minority rights as early as the 1970s, so that there is a Rusin-medium grade school in Ruski Kerestur (with some 250 schoolbooks printed so far for this school and elementary schools), a professorial chair for Rusin studies at Novi Sad University. There are regular television and radio programmes in Rusin, including the multilingual radio station Radio Novi Sad, which serves all of Vojvodina. The breakdown of minutes of Novi Sad original broadcasting by language in 2001 was: 23,5% Serbian, 23,5% Hungarian, 5,7% Slovak, 5,7% Romanian, 3,8% Rusin, 2,2% Romany, and 0,2% Ukrainian.
