WIKIPEDIA: Rusyns, also known as Ruthenes are a primarily diasporic ethnic group who speak an East Slavic language known as Rusyn. The Rusyns descend from Ruthenian peoples who did not adopt the use of the ethnonym "Ukrainian" in the early 20th century. As residents of the Carpathian Mountains region, Rusyns are also sometimes associated with the Slovak highlander community of Gorals (literally, "Highlanders"). The endonym Rusyn has frequently not been recognised by various governments and in other cases has been prohibited.
The main population of Rusyns are Carpatho-Rusyns, Carpatho-Ruthenians, Carpatho-Russians of Carpathian Ruthenia: a discrete cross-border region of western Ukraine, north-east Slovakia, and south-east POLAND. In official Ukrainian contexts, the various subgroups of Carpatho-Rusyns are often known collectively as Verkhovyntsi literally meaning "Highlanders". Of the estimated 1.2 million people of Rusyn origins, as few as 90,000 individuals have been officially identified as such, in recent national censuses.
