		These Lemko Rusyns, whose homeland is present-day South Eastern Poland, are part of a larger group of Rusyns who inhabit the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Slovakia and Western Ukraine.
		In September 1941, The Daily Independent printed an account of the first kermesh (reunion) held by Lemko Rusyns who had emigrated to the Mid-Mon Valley from the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Europe.
		The Rusyns are an ethnic minority who do not have their own country.

	Lemko Region
		Nevertheless, the term Lemko Region, in the sense of all the villages where Lemko Rusyns had lived before 1945, continues to be used in publications and by organizations that promote historical and civic Lemko interests.
		The entire Lemko population was resettled and forcibly deported between 1945 and 1947, so that at present only about 20,000 returnees and their descendants live in villages scattered throughout the area.
		The Lemko Region was until 1918 part of the Austrian Habsburg province of Galicia, specifically the southern parts of the *districts of Nowy Sącz, Grybów, Gorlice, Jasło, Krosno, Sanok, Lesko, and a very small portion (four villages) of Nowy Targ (see Map 9).

		The pre-Carpathian Lemkos were under different influences from those of the sub-Carpathian Rusyns in that they lived in the Austrian part of Austria-Hungary and had not experienced the 1,000 years of Magyar domination found south of the Carpathian crest.
		In the Lemko territory (where ideas arrived with a rather considerable delay), by the 20th century, the intelligentsia and the active peasantry were in good part engaged in the Russophile movement.
		These Lemkos, living north of the Hungarian border in the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, spoke an east-Slavic language which was heavily influenced by Polish and Slovak.

		The town's Lemkos (eastern Slavs by origin, claimed by both Ukrainians and Russians and properly "Ruthenians," Rusyns, or Rysnaks, traditionally a mountain-dwelling people with distinct "Lemkian" dialects of Slavic) kept the child alive.
		Lemkos were generally poor highlanders, shepherds and farmers often employed as swineherds in other regions, but in Krynica able to eke out a living by carrying construction materials for the villas that wealthy Poles were setting up in the late XIX
		Lemko is a dialect of Carpatho-Rusyn, which has no standard orthography, necessitating transliteration.

		The Lemkos of Poland are also known by the regional name "Rusyns" and sometimes among themselves as "Rusnaks." In the last years of World War II, much destruction had been wrought throughout this region and the Lemko population was forcibly removed.
		The Carpathian Mountain area of Southeastern Poland, once known as the Lemko Region, is an area that is today sparsely populated, mostly by Poles, with a few exceptions devoid of much of its previous character, and deprived of most of the remnants of its historical past.
		The situation of the Lemkos today provides a valuable opportunity to examine how an ethnic group’s culture changes and is preserved in the difficult situation of existing almost entirely in small dispersed settlements outside the original homeland.

		In Poland their traditional area was the southeastern area known as the Lemko Region (Łemkowszczyzna in Polish), but after World War II many of these Lemko Rusyns were deported to the Ukraine and other parts of Poland.

	Carpatho-Rusyn Background
		As the Lemko continue to try to revive their cultural traditions in the post-Communist era, the splits in their community are reflected in the organizations that they have formed since 1989.
		The Lemko, a distinct ethnic group from the southeast corner of the country, are also attempting to reassert their cultural identity.
		The Society, on the other hand, was formed in southwest Poland by a community of exiled Lemkos, and does not support identification with Ukraine.

	Language - The Rusyns - Rusyn.org
		This ethnolinguistic territory was significantly disrupted with the deportation of Lemko Rusyns from the northern slopes of the Carpathians immediately after World War II.
		While in Lemko dialects the stress is constant, fixed on the penultimate syllable of the word, as in Polish or eastern Slovak, the stress in the Eastern group is free and movable, as in Ukrainian.
		In the Western (Lemko) Rusyn dialects, as in Slovak, the use of verbs plus a dative construction for the expression of reciprocity is practically unrestricted: Rusyn pomahaty si, škodyty si, otpuščaty si, pris’ahaty si, šepkaty si, rozumyty si, nadavaty si/Slovak pomáhat’ si, škodit’ si, odpúšt’at’si, prisahat’ si, šuškat’ si, rozumiet’ si, nadávat’ si.

	Rusyn Names
		Rusyns have never had their own country, but their homeland today lies in 3 countries: Slovakia, Ukraine (the Transcarpathian district, former Ruthenia), and Poland (the Lemko Region, formerly part of Galicia).
		Rusyns are eastern Slavs, which means that their history, culture, and language are rooted in the medieval Kievan Rus' kingdom (Slovaks, by contrast, are western Slavs), although Slovaks and Rusyns have lived together on the same territory for nearly 1000 years (and share many cultural traits).
		Rusyns (sometimes spelled Rusins, or called Carpatho-Rusyns signifying their villages being in the Carpathian Mountains) are one of the many nationalities/ethnic groups of Slovakia, along with Slovaks, Hungarians, and Romanies (Gypsies).

	Geography - The Rusyns - Rusyn.org
		This was common during the decades before World War I, when Rusyns from all parts of Carpathian Rus’, including from the Lemko Region north of the mountain crests, worked on the fields during harvest season on Hungary’s lowland plains.
		Rusyns have also lived in these towns and cities, but almost always as a minority.
		These places have traditionally been inhabited by peoples other than Rusyns, including Slovaks, Poles, Jews, Magyars, Germans, and, in the case of Subcarpathian Rus’/Transcarpathia since the second half of the twentieth century, Russians.

	The Culture of a Quiet People
		Most scholars place the number of Lemkos residing in interwar Poland at between 150,000 and 200,000.
		The Ukrainian perspective argues that the ancestors of Lemkos originated further east, in Kievan Rus', hence justifying the Ukrainian ethnohistorical claim to western Galicia.
		By 1947, approximately 2/3 of the Lemko population had in this way been forced into exile.

	Rusyn Minority - Ruthenian Language
		In 1990-1991, a new cultural organization was established in each of the countries where Rusyns live as a minority - The Rusyn Renaissance Society in Slovakia; The Lemko Association in Poland; the Organization of Rusyns in Hungary; the Rusyn Matka in Yugoslavia; and Friends of Subcarpathian Rus' in the Czech Republic.
		The basic aim of these organizations is to have Rusyns recognized as a distinct nationality and to codify a Rusyn literary language for instruction in schools and use in the press, radio, theater, and other cultural events.
		Together with the Society of Carpatho-Rusyns in Ukraine and the Carpatho-Rusyn Research Center in the United States, these organizations form the World Congress of Rusyns, which since March 1991 has met periodically to formulate common goals for the preservation of Carpatho-Rusyns as a distinct people.

		Although Rusyns are recognized as a national minority in the EU countries where they reside it is extremely difficult to get correct figures about their numbers.
		One should also mention that the Lemko language is not monolithic, there are regional sub-dialects, many expressions have different meanings, and this proves that this language is still developing.
