Editing Rusyn language (section)

=== Contemporary status ===

Ukrainian state authorities do not recognize [[Rusyns]] as a separate ethnicity, regardless of Rusyn self-identification. Ukraine officially considered Rusyn a dialect of Ukrainian. In 2012, Ukraine adopted a new law, recognizing Rusyn as one of several minority and regional languages, but that law was revoked in 2014.{{sfn|Csernicskó|Fedinec|2016|p=560-582}}

Rusyn is recognized as an officially protected, minority language by the [[European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages]] in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]] (2011), [[Croatia]] (1997), [[Hungary]] (1998), [[Romania]] (2008), [[Poland]] (as Lemko, 2009), [[Serbia]] (2006), and [[Slovakia]] (2002).{{sfn|Council of Europe|2021}}

It is not possible to estimate accurately the number of fluent speakers of Rusyn; however, their number is estimated to be in the tens of thousands.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}
