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 Eastern 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.
