The Rusyn language is an East Slavic language spoken by at least 600,000 people (mostly in Central Europe). It is an official language in the autonomous region of Vojvodina, Serbia and is a minority language in several countries including Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Romania. The Rusyn language is codified and is taught in schools and it also has its own regulating institutions. There are a lot of publications in Rusyn (including dictionaries as well) and Rusyn radio stations exist, too.

A Rusyn Wiktionary would be an amazing gain not only for Rusyn speakers but for anyone having a specific interest in Rusyn. The Rusyn Wikipedia has already proven the existence of the Rusyn Wiki-community and its willingness to contibute. The existence of several written standards for the language might be an opposing argument, but the Rusyn Wikipedia has managed to deal with that and as of now, no observable problems have appeared.
