Pannonian Rusyn

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈruski]
• Rhymes: -uski
• Hyphenation: ру‧ски

Adjective

руски (ruski) (not comparable) (relational)

1. Rusyn (especially Pannonian)

   Near-synonyms: русински (rusinski), руснацки (rusnacki)

2. (colloquial) Russian

   Synonym: русийски (rusijski)

Usage notes

• The term руски (ruski) is most often used to denote "Rusyn", as opposed to "Russian" in South Slavic languages, or Slovak ruský.
• The term русински (rusinski), used in Serbian, may also be used to denote Pannonian Rusyn, however it is less common than руски (ruski). The term may be used to differentiate between the different varieties of Rusyn tongues or ethnic Rusyns, where русински (rusinski) is used instead to refer to Carpathian Rusyn(s).
• The term руснацки (rusnacki) is somewhat dated, but may still be encountered in older texts or texts written by older people.
