Good day. I speak Czech and understand Rusyn language to a high degree but understand Ukrainian much less.

Lemko is pronounced “whemkee”…. One of the last ones in Musynka told me.

My last name is Zelenak. Was wondering if I am Rusyn?

One of my distant relatives came from Slovakia and we have Jewish roots and I'm still trying to match it all together❤ Tkacs Family

I thought Hungarians originated from the Ural Mountains,-that’s quite a ways from Central Asia*

Finally,-someone who can explain the complex dynamics between different tribes in Eastern Europe.

Palacsinca or Palatschinke in Austrian etc comes from Romanian Plăcinta which cimes from Latin Placenta... And Placenta the body part and part of the female reproductive system and Placenta the cake or pastry have the same root....

Русинский простор на английском 😂😂😂😂

Вітання всім русинам! Треба розвивати русинський простір!

For most of last thousand years, the region has been part of Hungary and yet you made no mention of the Magyar people.

Why don’t you stop telling your audience what you are “going to talk about “ and just do it? Just give your lecture?

Bad ANGLOSAXONS BLAFS 🙃🙃🙃😜

I would say this is the best explanation I've heard so far. I am a South Slovene living in Australia.We are also the most friendly and happiest of all the Slavs together with the Serbs and Macedonians and West Ukrainians. but we have more Celtic and Lombard than the Russians and Belarusians for Example.The Czechs are the most miserable Slavs I've come across and the Croats the rudest.Russians are very kind and helpful, are Slav/ Uralic . Finnish are Uralic/Ugric. Also you may not know in the 9th. century Slovaks and Slovenians were the same and Slovaks lived in Lower Austria and Slovenes in the the Danube Basin and Pannonian Plain. Also the West Ukrainians are of lighter complection and not mixed with Turkic peoples and can speak Slovenian. Slovenian is also the oldest West Slavic language spoken today and very similar to Old Russian or Slavonic. Slovenia is in South Central Europe and not the Balkans.

I wish my mother and grandmother were alive to hear their native tongue. Although when I visited Ukraine with my uncle. They said he spoke the old language from the village my grandparents having come to America in 1908, it never progressed like it did in the Ukraine. When my grandparents left Europe there village was part of the Austrian Hungarian empire, became Checkoslavia then Ukraine .

There are a few mistakes. 1) The accent on the first syllable developed in Slovak not because of the Hungarian influence because the Czechs also have the accent on the first syllable and they had no Hungarian influence. 2) The word Huncút cannot come into Slovak or Ruthenian from Hungarian because Hungarian had no sound "ts" or "c" as we spell it. The sound "ts" developed in Hungarian after many centuries later and the Hungarians learned the sound from the Slavs. The currently Hungarian town of Miskolc is the Slovak Miškovec ending by "ts". This is a Slovak ending and Hungarians accepted the name from Slovaks. If the name was Hungarian by the origin, it would have no "ts" in it. 3) You are not right about the Slovaks being invited from the west to settle in the Carpathian mountains of Transcarpathia. The Slovaks had the influence on the Eastern Slovakia from the time of the so called Great Moravia when the Slovaks conquered the Eastern Slovakia together with the land between the Danube and the Tisa rivers, where nowadays lies the city of Budapest.

My Didi was born in Brody. He came to Providence, Rhode Island in 1907 . He was a founding member of St. John’s Church . I remember him visiting every Easter with hard boiled eggs and proclaiming: “He has risen!”. He lived to be 94. I loved him.

The professor has blowin me away with his knowledge and what an insight into that part of the country from where my parents ,Sister brother come from.Im Slovak Canadian brought up Roman Catholic born 1941 .Mom born 1904 in Prešov region Nizny Krucov dad born 1899 in Uzhorod region in Hatalov Slovakia .My sister still buried in Nizny Krucov 1930. The bottom line is I understand Carpatho Rusyn better than western Slovakia .I had the honour to share same stage as the great singer from Prešov Janka Guzova in 1970s (Cingy Lingy Bom) at the Greek Catholic Church in Hamilton Ont Canada as opening performer .My brother buried from same serkva .Im married to Slovak girl whose 2 uncles were priests and one was married .The 3rd uncle George Mitro built R.C. St Cyril Methodist’s in Toronto 1930 with his construction co.My father in law grew up Hungarian in Garan Slovakia .Sometimes I wonder if I got Rusyn blood in me because I understand Ole Slovak ,Polish .Ukrainian better than some parts of Slovakia …..Peace My Sisters & Brothers

Русинська це говірка української мови🇺🇦

Great Work! Thank you for doing all the work and giving the People a Chance to understand their Roots.

Absolutely wonderful presentation!

You misspelled Dr. Magocsi's name!

Thank you. Many good questions and many answers. I would love to see the presentation referenced.

I’m first generation Canadian Carpatho-Rusyn. My grandfather came to Canada in 1928 via an immigration plan. My dad came to Canada in 1934.

I’m absolutely mind blown! I grew up in Easter Slovakia, thinking that I am Hungarian, since it was my first language. I literally never heard of Rusyns. I just took a DNA test confirming I am 86% Rusyn. And now I’m learning all this… The schools in Slovakia did not teach us about this. What a shame.

Never invite evil into your household.......tradition or not!!!

If my grandfather referee to his lineage as black croates, means I’m not Rusyn? Just trying to understand.

I was always told I’m “dark/black Russian”. After doing my dna ancestry my mother did discovery her grandmother was Rusyn. So what should I understand next? Is there such a thing as white and black/dark rusyn? My ancestry says subcarpathian area. My mother is very Americanized

Slava Isusu Christu! Greeting from central Europe!. Please insert the subtitles.

My family arrived in Glassport (near Pittsburgh) in 1919 from the village Dolha, now called Dovhe, Zacarpatia Oblast, Ukraine. They were in Maurmaures Hungary

Both of my maternal grandparents loved to dance the ‘Czardas’!

I didn't even know of the existence of Rusyns until a few days ago and I've been around for awhile and know a few things. So I'm absolutely fascinated by this excellent series. Many thanks!

He forgot to mention that Belarus are a mix of rus and Polish tribes with some Baltic’s tribe. Also Slovaks lived in all of modern slovakia in the past of since the early 900 AD. Just in the east near Ukraine that region was a big mixing of some rusyns polish and slovak tribes. In the end though most end up becoming Slovakian as maygars pushed many Slovaks up into the Tátra mountains range of the Carpathian Mountains. Also I hate when they use that old map of rusyn ppl that was shown in the video earlier as it only shows were rusyns lived, but not if they were the majority or not. And it marks some settlement of rusyn minorities in Hungary that had self government in their town. Again the map makes it seems like there was a lot of rusyns in Poland and Slovakia in the past when most of them resigned in what is known today as the Zakarpatskaya oblast of Ukraine. The rusyns living in the Prešov kraj of Slovakia and the Lemko region of Poland where a minority group that were mixed with polish lemko and slovak people. As greater numbers of rusyns were seen as you got closer to modern Zakarpatskaya oblast.

Rosiya is the stolen name of Ruthenian. Under the leadership of people the Great. The Ruthenians of Ukraine could not use a similar name to Russia, so they become Ukraintsi (borderland people) , instead of being called ruthenians. The old maps of Kyivan Ruthenia incorporate large areas of today'' Eastern Slovakia

I forgot to add, Ruthenia in the Greek language equates to a nation called Rosiya (Russia) after the Great Moscovy State was renamed to Russia. Ruthenians in Ukraine, adopted the name of borderland people, Ukraintsi, on the border of the new Russia. As Ruthenian sounded too similar to Russian, the name change to Okraina, which then become Ukraina! But the language (apart from slight regional differences is the same as Ukrainian) Glory to the Old Kyivan Ruthenia. I will add a link to the map of old Ruthenia

My family visited my father's native Rusyn village of Maly Sulin in eastern Slovakia in 1972. My father spoke to them in standard Slovak as his Rusyn had withered over the years. I wonder if they replied in Rusyn? I guess I'll never know though I expect there has been a lot of bilingualism there over the years.

This is so fascinating to me. My grandparents came from Zavadka (Spisska Nova Ves) (one of the isolated gray areas in your map) at the turn of the last century. My 89-year-old father was the youngest of 17 kids and the only one who could speak "Slovak." Over the years, I've been told he sounds more Ukrainian, but we could never figure out why. He also understands many of the Ukrainian refugees on the news and understands a lot of Polish. My DNA suggests origins in the Presov and Lemko regions. For the first time, lightbulbs are turning on. I can't wait to share these informative videos with my father. Thank you!

Rusyns was loyal to the Hungarian Kingdom.

Hold it...What about all those Slovak Greek Catholics? Who are they?

Just a moment, Professor.....I thought that the Russ were Vikings? At least that is what is commonly taught in Slavic Studies circles today.....Stephan

I have 87 words to get anyone up a speaking most languages. Word order first then verbs conjuctions the just pronouns then conversation of everything needed to be said from arrival at airport on. Who, what, when, where, why, how, how much?, this/that these/those he/she we they then us. I like I need I want I don’t like.
