Ruthenian

Called Ruthenian

• An East Slavic language that was spoken in the 14th to 18th century in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and to the east of the Polish- Lithuanian state of the ancestors of today's Ukrainians and Belarusians, see Ruthenian language
• A spoken today in the western Ukraine, eastern Slovakia, southeastern Poland, northeastern Hungary and the north-western Romania language, see Carpatho - Russinisch
• A spoken today in the Serbian Vojvodina and eastern Croatia language, see Jugoslawo - Russinisch
• The Ukrainian language, especially in the 19th century in Galicia
• The Belarusian language (also Weißruthenisch )

The chosen name practice follows the principle to remain as close as possible the Germans on the proper name of the speaker. For example, the Rusyns call their own language and Others rusinskyj jazyk, so you should use Russinisch in German; the ancestors of the Western Eastern Slavs called their language when they wrote in Latin, lingua ruthenica, so you say in German Ruthenian, etc. In scientific publications, one reads " rusinisch " ( with an s ).
