context_page_description: Pannonian Rusyn, or simply Rusyn, is an East Slavic language spoken by the Pannonian Rusyns, in north-western Serbia and eastern Croatia. Before the re-establishment of independent Serbian and Croatian states, in the 1990s, the area was part of the former federation of Yugoslavia. Pannonian Rusyn is one of the official languages of the Serbian Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The Pannonian Rusyns themselves call their language Bačvan'ska ruska bešeda, or Bačvan'ski ruski jazik, both meaning "the Rusyn language of Bačka". Pannonian Rusyn has also sometimes been known as Yugoslavo-Ruthenian, Vojvodina-Ruthenian or Bačka-Ruthenian.
  There is controversy regarding whether Pannonian Rusyn is a distinct microlanguage, or a dialect of the Rusyn language, which is spoken in a trans-border region of Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania.
  Like most other Rusyns, and unlike Serbs or Croats, most Pannonian Rusyns were traditionally members of the Ruthenian Catholic Church, an Eastern Catholic church using the Byzantine Rite. Pannonian Rusyn Greek Catholics are now organized in the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Ruski Krstur.

  While up to date figures are not available, the Yugoslavian federal census of 1981 counted 23,286 Rusyns.
