  Lemko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The land of the Lemkos (Lemki), sometimes called "Lemkovyna," or "Lemkivshchyna," includes the higher elevations of the Carpathians of present-day Poland, extending to around the Poprad River to the west, and extending to the east as far as the region around Sanok, where it meets the Boyko region.
In the late 20th century, some Lemki, mainly emigres from the region, mainly from the southern slopes of the Carpathians in modern-day Slovakia, began an effort to codify and standardize a grammar for the local speech, under the designation "Lemko" or Ruthenian–Rusyn.
Lemkos are remainder of Valachian and Ruthenian settlers who arrived to the area later inhabited by the Lemkos in 14th century.

 Ruthenia - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In the 1880s and 1900s, due to the spread of the name "Ukraine" as a substitute for "Ruthenia" among the Ruthenian/Ukrainian population of the Russian Empire, the name, "Ruthenian" was often restricted to mean western Ukraine, an area then part of the Austro-Hungarian state.
In the early 20th century, the name "Ukraine" was widely accepted in Galicia/Halychyna and the name "Ruthenia" became narrowed to the area south of the Carpathian mountains in the Kingdom of Hungary.
The people of the region rapidly became Slovakicised, because their language is closely related to the Slovak language and because most of them refused to identify themselves as Ukrainians, as the Communist government, after 1953, wished them to do.

 Highlanders of Eastern Beskidy (part I)
The Lemkos live between the Slovaks to the south and the Poles to the north.
This was done in the 14th century by Walachian-Ruthenian settlers who established "in cruda radice" villages, or settlements in cleared areas, in the whole territory later inhabited by the Lemkos.
However, cultural and economic differences between the Walachian nomadic shepherds and the Ruthenian farmers point rather to two states in the settlement in the Carpathians.
