Summary/Abstract: The language of the Rusyns in Bács-Szerém (Yugoslavia) became a literary language at the beginning of the twentieth century. In the Hungarian loanwords of this literary language in the place of the standard é phoneme we found i, e and ei variants. The reason for this can be found in the phonological system of the Hungarian dialects the words are taken from. The modern standard Hungarian é phoneme in the northeast dialects is an opening ië or a closing ëi diphtong. The Rusyn i originates from the Hungarian ië diphtong and the Rusyn ei from the Hungarian dialectal ëi diphtong.
