Ruthenian /ruːˈθiːniən/ (native names: ruteńska mowa/рутеньска мова, halycka mowa/галицка мова) is an [[w:East Slavic languages|East Slavic language]] | Ruthenian /ruːˈθiːniən/ (native names: ruteńska mowa/рутеньска мова, halycka mowa/галицка мова) is an [[w:East Slavic languages|East Slavic language]] spoken by Ukrainians and Poles in the [[w:Eastern Galicia|Halicia Region]], where it is the co-official language (along with [[w:Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] and [[w:Polish language|Polish]]) and is the native language for more than 3 million people. Ruthenian is considered digraphic, using both [[w:Cyrillic alphabet|Cyrillic]] and [[w:Latin alphabet|Latin]] alphabets, though the Latin alphabet is more commonly used, while the Cyrillic alphabet is used in the [[w:Orthodox Slavs|Orthodox]] practice, road signes and in the North-Eastern part of Halicia, where Ukrainian is dominant. | ||
The Ruthenian language is a descendant of [[w:Old East Slavic language|Old East Slavic]], spoken in the early medieval state of [[w:Kievan Rus'|Kievan Rus']]. After the fall of the Kievan Rus' as well as the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia, the language developed into a form called the Old Ruthenian language - a common ancestor of modern Ruthenian, Rusyn, Ukrainian and Belarusian languages. Unlike its closest relatives, Ruthenian has always maintained a sufficient base in Halicia, where the language was never banned, in its folklore songs and then in early literature. The modern Ruthenian language retains a high degree of mutual intelligibility with Rusyn, Belarusian and Ukrainian, but is also close to Polish and Slovak. | The Ruthenian language is a descendant of [[w:Old East Slavic language|Old East Slavic]], spoken in the early medieval state of [[w:Kievan Rus'|Kievan Rus']].
