Thank you guys for your insight into the evolution of the Carpatho-Rusyn language and culture!

Great story... Reminds me of my Rusnak realization.... My parent considered themselves Slovaks but we spoke it with a suspicion accent...when I enrolled in my college Russian language class I was an A+ student

In Serbia we always knew the difference between Rusyns and Ukrainians from the West of Ukraine. We have minority of both. Rusyns are different from those from Galica and there’s Rusyn language. We love Rusyns and are happy to have them.

this is the home language my family spoke, as well as Czech, German, Hungarian, They're from Dolha, now called Dohve in Ukraine.

This was super interesting! Can’t wait to see more!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

The most interesting thing for me is that even with the seperatist war going on rusyns are supposedly growing in transcarpathia. I would have thought they would've shut that all down but keeping that spirit alive is one of the best things a people can do. If Rusyns were made up then there would be no movement, no energy, no fire! Maybe do a video on Tatars-Rusyn nationalism. My guess is Tatars are in the worse position though with the Ruskis annexing the reigon.

Michael, are you familiar with Paul Robert Magosci’s book, “The People From Nowhere”. It explains in depth, the origins of Carpatho-Rusyn people, especially those who migrated to the US in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I am especially proud to be a Rusnak!

It’s Adam Driver!

I always get interested in such themes like how much can Rusyns understand from Ukrainian and vice versa, or how similar are for example Croatian and Serbain language. A very interesting topic, that a Hungarian can never experience :(

It’s easy for Rusyns in Ukraine to communicate in Ukrainian and for Ukrainians to understand us because most of the time we automatically speak to them in Ukrainian or Russian with our accent.it’s sounds weird not to be able to speak official language properly but it is what it is and many are shamed for that and most do feel ashamed for that. But back to your question. I think my family experience could be good example here. I emigrated about 10 years ago to Canada, my older son was 8 years old then, couple of years ago he asked me why is it his friend in school can’t understand him when he speaks to him in “Ukrainian “at that time we thought we speak Ukrainian 😭)and they have to communicate in English? Well I said maybe he is Russian they usually don’t understand Ukrainian, no he said he is Ukrainian he tries to speak to him in Russian or Ukrainian my son understand him but when he replies back in Rusyn (as we don’t speak any other language at home and my kids have absolutely no skills in either Ukrainian or Russian)kid understand him almost NOTHING!

I think it'd be fun to watch you on Bahador Alast's channel comparing Rusyn with other Slavic languages.

+1 for questions at the bottom during the video.

Who's next?

Rusyn language is incredibly similar to Serbian, as well as ethic music and outfits from some regions

Nowadays, in time of war of identity, where "ruskij mir" has already occupied first by TV part of regions ofLuhansk and Donetsk, and Crimean peninsula and consequently by regular army, any other division on difference in Ukraine should be a careful scholastic study. It should also expose unity by difference that lived and coexisted on the territory of Ukraine.

Tatar-Rusyn nationalism what is this?😂
