Rusyn (Rusyn: русиньска бесїда or русиньскый язык), also known in English as Ruthene (sometimes Ruthenian), is an East Slavic language variety spoken by the Rusyns of Central Europe. Some linguists treat it as a distinct language and it has its own ISO 639-3 code; some Ukrainian scholars treat it as a dialect of Ukrainian. Each categorisation has controversial political implications.

Famous quotes containing the word language:

    The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.
    Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
