First sentence: On the vast, fertile plain of Vojvodina, the autonomous province of Yugoslavia's Serbia,1 lives a small Slavic minority, the Rusyns, whose history and, particularly, language have captivated and perplexed many a scholar, and who, despite the controversies with regard to their ethnic and linguistic origin resounding in the scholarly sanctuaries, have developed a dynamic and distinct social structure within the larger society in which they live.
