📖 Historical Territory of the Carpatho-Rusyns

✍️ This map, based on the research of historian Paul Robert Magocsi, delineates the traditional ethnographic territory of the Carpatho-Rusyns (also known as Rusyns or Ruthenians) in the Carpathian Mountains.

Main regions shown:
• Lemko Region (Lemkovyna) – the northernmost area, primarily within present-day southeastern Poland
• Prešov Region (Priashevshchyna) – the central area in northeastern Slovakia
• Subcarpathian Region (Podkarpatská Rus / Zakarpattia) – the eastern core territory in present-day southwestern Ukraine
The map also indicates:
• International borders
• The boundaries of the historical Subcarpathian Rus’
• Seats of Greek Catholic eparchies and Orthodox eparchies
• Settlements with Rusyn minority self-government (especially in Hungary)

This cartographic representation illustrates the compact historical settlement area of the Carpatho-Rusyn people prior to the major political border changes of the 20th century. Today this territory is divided among Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, and Romania.
The map remains one of the most widely used scholarly visualizations of the Carpatho-Rusyn ethnographic homeland.

📖 Language Map of Eastern Slovakia (1906)
This historical linguistic map of Eastern Slovakia was compiled according to the research of Slovak linguist Samuel Czambel and reflects the language situation at the beginning of the 20th century.

Legend:
• 🔵 Blue — Slovaks
• 🟣 Light purple — Gorals
• 🟢 Green — Rusyns (Carpatho-Rusyns)
• 🔴 Red — Hungarians
• 🟡 Yellow — Germans

Significance for Carpatho-Rusyns:
The green areas clearly show the compact settlement of Carpatho-Rusyns (Rusnaks) in the Prešov Region (Priashevshchyna) of Eastern Slovakia. This was one of the core territories of the Carpatho-Rusyn people within the Kingdom of Hungary before the collapse of Austria-Hungary.
The map provides valuable visual evidence of the ethnolinguistic landscape of the region around 1906 and documents the presence of Carpatho-Rusyn communities alongside Slovaks, Hungarians, Gorals, and Germans.

🗺️ Dialects of the Carpatho-Rusyn (Rusyn) Language according to the Classification of G. Yu. Gerovsky

✍️ This detailed dialect map presents the internal structure of the Carpatho-Rusyn language based on the classical classification by linguist Georgy Yu. Gerovsky.
Dialect groups shown on the map:
• Northern Carpathian dialects (grey-green shades)
• Subcarpathian dialects (yellow and orange tones)
• Western dialects (green shades)
• Mixed dialects and local micro-dialects (pink and grey)

📯 The map covers the traditional Carpatho-Rusyn speech territory stretching across present-day Zakarpattia (Ukraine), the Prešov Region (Slovakia), parts of the Lemko Region (Poland), and northern Maramureș (Romania).
It clearly illustrates the significant dialectal diversity within Carpatho-Rusyn — from the Hutsul and Verkhovyna dialects in the east to the Zemplín and Šariš dialects in the west. This internal variation is one of the characteristic features of the language spoken by Carpatho-Rusyns (Rusnaks) in the Carpathian Mountains.
Gerovsky’s classification remains one of the most important linguistic frameworks for studying the dialectal landscape of the Carpatho-Rusyn language.

🗺️ East Slavic Language Family Tree
This diagram shows the genealogical structure of the East Slavic languages, including influences from the West Slavic and South Slavic branches.

📌 Key structure:
• Indo-European → Balto-Slavic → Slavic

📌 East Slavic branch:
• Old East Slavic
• Ruthenian (historical)

📌Modern languages:
• Rusyn (Carpatho-Rusyn)
• Ukrainian
• Belarusian
• Russian (with northern and southern varieties)

✍️ The diagram also shows contact and influence from West Slavic languages (Slovak, Polish) and South Slavic (especially Church Slavonic).

📖 For Carpatho-Rusyns:
Rusyn is presented here as a distinct modern East Slavic language that developed from the historical Ruthenian tradition in the Carpathian Mountains. Its position in the tree reflects both its East Slavic roots and the strong influence of neighboring West Slavic languages (especially Slovak and Polish).
This type of classification is widely used in modern linguistics when discussing the place of the Carpatho-Rusyn language within the Slavic family.

📯 Slavic Languages in Central and Eastern Europe
This detailed linguistic map shows the distribution of Slavic languages across the region.

✍️ The areas marked “rusinski” (in orange-red with stripes) represent the Carpatho-Rusyn language. It is concentrated in the Carpathian Mountains, primarily covering:
• Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia) in Ukraine
• Prešov Region in eastern Slovakia
• Lemko Region in southeastern Poland
Carpatho-Rusyn (also known as Rusyn or Ruthenian) is the traditional East Slavic language of the Carpatho-Rusyn people. It developed in the mountain environment and preserves many unique features while being influenced by neighboring languages such as Slovak, Polish, Hungarian, and Romanian.

📖 Lemko Population in Poland by Communes (2021 Census)

✍️ This map shows the percentage of people who declared Lemko ethnic/national identity in each commune (gmina) of Poland according to the 2021 national census.
Key observations:
• The darkest red areas indicate the highest concentration of Lemkos, located mainly in the Lemko Region (Lemkovyna / Лемківщина) in southeastern Poland (Subcarpathian Voivodeship).
• Smaller concentrations in western and northern Poland are the result of the forced resettlement during Operation Vistula in 1947, when thousands of Lemkos were deported from their Carpathian homeland.
Important note:

🎓 Lemkos are one of the main sub-ethnic groups of the Carpatho-Rusyn people. Despite decades of assimilation policies, they continue to preserve their distinct identity, language (Lemko dialect of Carpatho-Rusyn), and cultural heritage.

📖 Linguistic Tree of the Slavic Languages
This clear diagram shows the classification and structure of the Indo-European language family with a focus on the Balto-Slavic and Slavic branches.

✍️ Important for Carpatho-Rusyns:
Under the East Slavic group, you can see:
• Ruthenian
• Rusyn
Both are listed separately from Ukrainian, Russian, and Belarusian. This reflects the position of many linguists who consider Rusyn (Carpatho-Rusyn) a distinct East Slavic language (or a separate branch within East Slavic).
The diagram demonstrates the place of the Rusyn language within the broader Slavic language family and highlights its unique development in the Carpathian Mountains.

📖 Ethnolinguistic Distribution of Central and Eastern Europe, ca. 1900

✍️ This excellent academic map by Paul Robert Magocsi shows the ethnic and linguistic composition of Central and Eastern Europe at the turn of the 20th century (around 1900).
For Carpatho-Rusyns:
Look for number 9 — Carpatho-Rusyns (often labeled as Ruthenians in older sources). The map clearly marks their compact settlement in the Carpathian Mountains, covering:
• Subcarpathian Ruthenia (today’s Zakarpattia)
• Prešov Region (eastern Slovakia)
• Lemko Region (southeastern Poland)
This was the classic ethnographic territory of the Carpatho-Rusyn people just before the collapse of Austria-Hungary.
The map is particularly valuable because it shows the real distribution of peoples before the major border changes of 1918–1920 and the rise of modern nation-states.

🏛️ THE MUSEUM OF RUSYN CULTURE BELONGS IN PREŠOV

Prešov is not only a regional capital and an important transportation hub. It is also the city where the most important Carpatho-Rusyn institutions in Slovakia, Rusyn media outlets, and many cultural organizations are concentrated.

👥 The city of Prešov is a natural center for tens of thousands of Carpatho-Rusyns from across the region. Every day, students, workers, civil servants, artists, and visitors from Sabinov, Bardejov, Svidník, Stropkov, Humenné, Snina, Medzilaborce, and other districts live, work, study, or spend time here.

🚂 As Slovakia’s third-largest city, Prešov has significant potential for tourism. If the state were to invest in the modernization and development of the museum, the number of visitors could be far greater than it is today.

📚 The question is where a national museum can best fulfill its mission — scientific research, documentation, collecting, education, and cultural preservation. We are convinced that the answer is Prešov.

‼️ Support the petition to keep the Slovak National Museum – Museum of Rusyn Culture in Prešov! ‼️

📖 Linguistic Structure of Slovakia, 1910
This map shows the linguistic composition of Slovakia at the end of the Austro-Hungarian period (1910 census).

✍️ Key languages:

• 🔵 Blue — Slovak
• 🔴 Red — Rusyn (Carpatho-Rusyn)
• 🟡 Yellow — Hungarian
• 🟫 Olive — German
• 🟠 Orange — Croatian

🎓 For Carpatho-Rusyns:
The red areas in the eastern part of Slovakia (especially the Prešov Region / Пряшівщина) clearly show the compact settlement of Carpatho-Rusyns (Rusnaks). This was (and still is) one of the main historical territories of the Carpatho-Rusyn people, alongside Zakarpattia and Lemkovyna.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Rusyns formed a significant part of the population in northeastern Slovakia, preserving their language, Greek Catholic faith, and distinct culture.
