Summary/Abstract: The paper will provide a comprehensive view on language of Rusnáks in Vojvodina compared to folk language of Slovak Byzantine Catholics (rusnáks) in eastern Slovakia. Significant part of the paper presents a summary of multiannual research results on the language of selected Cyrillic manuscripts of Byzantine Catholics in Vojvodina in comparison with similar Cyrillic literature of eastern Slovak Byzantine Catholics. The presentation of this linguistic research will also include descriptions of stereotypes created on the basis of extra-linguistic, particularly confessional and ethnic (self) identification of Byzantine Catholics in Vojvodina compared to language, ethnic, and religious identity of believers of the Byzantine-Slavic Church in eastern Slovakia.
