TERMINOLOGIA DE RUDENIE ÎN LIMBILE RUTEANĂ, SÂRBĂ ŞI SLOVACĂ
KINSHIP TERMINOLOGY IN THE LANGUAGES RUTHENIAN, SERBIAN AND SLOVAK*

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present kinship terminology in the Ruthenian language and compare it with the kinship terminology in Serbian and Slovak. Some 270 years ago, groups of Ruthenians began migrating south from their homeland in the Carpathian Mountains mostly from Zemplen and Saros counties (in present Slovakia) to the Bačka region (in present Serbia). Since the Ruthenian language has been in contact both with the Slovak and Serbian languages for a long time we expect to find certain influence of these languages on the Ruthenian kinship terminology.
