==== Prešov Rusyn ====
In Slovakia, the Prešov literary variety has been under continuous codification since 1995<ref>{{cite journal |author=Taras Kuzio |year=2005 |title=The Rusyn question in Ukraine: sorting out fact from fiction |url=http://www.taraskuzio.net/Nation%20and%20State%20Building_files/national-rusyns.pdf |url-status=dead |journal=Canadian Review of Studies in Nationalism |volume=XXXII |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090327140741/http://www.taraskuzio.net/Nation%20and%20State%20Building_files/national-rusyns.pdf |archive-date=27 March 2009 |access-date=2009-12-03 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> when first published by Vasyl Jabur, Anna Plíšková and Kvetoslava Koporová.{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}} Its namesakes are both the city and region of Prešov, Slovakia—historically, each have been respective centers for Rusyn academia and the Rusyn population of Slovakia.

Prešov Rusyn was based on varieties of Rusyn found in a relatively compact area within the Prešov Region. Specifically, the variety is based on the language spoken in the area between the West Zemplin and East Zemplin Rusyn dialects (even more specifically: a line along the towns and villages of [[Osadné|Osadne]], [[Hostovice, Snina District|Hostovice]], [[Parihuzovce]], [[Čukalovce]], [[Pčoliné|Pcoline]], [[Pichne]], [[Nechválova Polianka|Nechvalova Polianka]], [[Zubné|Zubne]], [[Nižná Jablonka|Nizna Jablonka]], [[Vyšná Jablonka|Vysna Jablonka]], [[Svetlice]], and [[Zbojné|Zbojne]]). And though the many Rusyn dialects of Slovakia entirely surpass the limited set of features prescribed in the standard, this comparatively small sample size was consciously chosen by codifiers in order to provide a structured ecosystem within which a variety of written and spoken language would inevitably (and already did) thrive.{{Sfn|Pugh|2009|p=7}}

Its orthography is largely based on [[Zhelekhivka]],{{citation needed|date=December 2021}} a late 19th century variety of the Ukrainian alphabet.
