Usage notes
The sense of "Pannonian Rusyn" is by and large only used by Rusyns themselves when they speak English; for instance, there exists a Department of Ruthenian Studies at the Faculty of Philosophy in the University of Novi Sad, which provides courses in Pannonian Rusyn. An English-Pannonian Rusyn dictionary, published in 2022 and written by Serbian Rusyn authors, also translates rsk руски as "Ruthenian".
