Carpatho Rusyn Language | Can Polish and Czech understand?

Carpatho Rusyn language is a language spoken by the Rusyns - an East Slavic people whose population is scattered over many different countries in the region. Their language has many dialects and their status varies from country to country. Pannonian Rusyn is recognized as an official language in Vojvodina, Serbia. In Poland, Rusyn is known as the Lemko language and has an ethnic minority language status. Rusyn is also spoken in Eastern Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. In this episode, we have Mikhalj from Uzhhorod, Ukraine, who speaks Боржавськый dialect of Rusyn, and together with Vit (@Czech with a Praguer) from the Czech Republic, we’re going to determine if our 3 languages are mutually intelligible. I’m Norbert from Poland and I’ll be speaking Polish in this Slavic languages comparison video.
