Jugoslawo - Russinisch (also Südrussinisch, Backa - Russinisch, Vojvodina Russinisch, Pannonian - Russinisch, Ruthenian; russinisch руска бешеда [ ruska bescheda ] ) is spoken by the ethnic group of Rusyns in Serbia and Croatia.

Jugoslawo - Russinisch ( russinisch бачваньска руска бешеда [ batschwanska ruska bescheda ] ) is indeed now only spoken by about 20,000 people in Serbia's Vojvodina and Slavonia in Croatia, however, has been codified in 1923 in the grammar of Hawrijil Kostelnik. After the Second World War, the Rusyns were recognized as a national minority in Yugoslavia. There was a Rusyn newspaper, radio and television broadcasts and education. Since 1970 Russinisch on High School level at the Gymnasium of Ruski Kerestur (Serbian Ruski Krstur ) taught. It issued textbooks and 1981 established a Department of Russian Philology at the University of Novi Sad. Since that time, some places of Vojvodina is Russinisch also admitted in its dealings with the local administration. Jugoslawo - Russinisch is therefore now a fully developed written language.

It should be noted that the Jugoslawo - Russi niche outside Serbia is often considered together with the Carpatho - Russian niches than one language " Russinisch ". In addition, especially in the Ukraine, the Jugoslawo - Russi niche, as well as the Carpatho - Russian niche often referred to as the Ukrainian dialect, because in Ukraine the existence of a Rusyn nationality is denied. In addition, there is also the opinion that it was a dialect of Slovak. In Slovakia, even today predominates probably the view that it was a ostslowakisch - western Ukrainian transitional dialect ( eg Horbač, O.:. Leksika hovirky bačvans'ko - srims'kych ukrajinciv In: Naukovyj zbirnyk Muzeju ukrajins'koji Kultury v Svydnyku. 1969). In fact, the Jugoslawo - Russi niche contains many eastern Slovak elements ( more than that in eastern Slovakia spoken Carpatho - Russian niche), so it is debatable whether it even as East Slavic (such as Ukrainian ) or even as a West Slavic language (such as the Slovak ) is to be classified.
