Editing Rusyn language (section)

==== Literary languages ====
Today, there are three formally codified Rusyn [[Literary language|literary varieties]] and one de facto (Subcarpathian Rusyn). These varieties reflect the culmination of nearly two centuries of activist and academic labor, during which a literary Rusyn language was desired, discussed, and addressed (time and again) by a dedicated intelligentsia. Linguist Stefan M. Pugh notes, "...at every stage someone was thinking of writing in Rusyn; approximately every generation a grammar of some sort would be written but not find wide acceptance, primarily for reasons of a political nature (and of course logistical practicalities)."{{Sfn|Pugh|2009|p=4, 6}}

Some of these earlier grammars include those by [[Dmytrij Vyslockij]]{{Efn|{{langx|rue|Дмитрий Вислоцкий}}}} (''Karpatorusskij bukvar'''{{Efn|{{langx|rue|Карпаторусский букварь}}}}''),<ref>{{cite book |last1=Vyslockyj |first1=Dmytryj |year=1931 |location=[[Cleveland]] |language=rue |script-title=ru:Карпаторусский букварь |trans-title=Karpatorusskij bukvar'}}</ref> Vanja Hunjanky'' (1931), [[Metodyj Trochanovskij]] ''(Bukvar: Perša knyžečka dlja narodnıx škol'';{{Efn|{{langx|rue|Буквар.

From 1939 through 1944 an estimated 1,500 to 3,000 Rusyn-language publications (mostly centered around [[Uzhhorod]], Ukraine) entered print and from 1941 onward, Harajda's grammar was the accepted standard.
