No, I mean dual language number.

Like for example what would in English be "two stones", in Slovenian would simply be "kamna".

Or word "Slovenec" (member of Slovenian/Slovene nation)

singular: Slovenec
dual: Slovenca
plural: Slovenci

Maybe. But I can say what made me pro-Macedonian. It was a book of stories by a Macedonian author which was read by me many years ago. Unfortunately I can’t remember his name but that his book was very impressive. Sort of Macedonian thriller. Judging by it Serbs and Bulgarians (not sure about Serbs but Bulgarian soldiers definitely acted there, I remember them more clearly) tried to force Macedonians to regard themselves as Serbs or Bulgarians.

But the Macedonians chose to be a separate people and after WWII created their own literary language (the youngest Slavic language, by the way), a separate republic in Yugoslavia and an independent state now. What tricksters! I respect them for it.

Please recall the name of the author, I'm impressed, though not surprised. The paid propaganda in that "country" is disgusting. They would write even that koreans did this or that if there's who to pay them.

They're liberals. A lot of their politicans want to legalize drugs or gay marriage. It's just that such a large portion of their population is extremely liberal and they are the most atheist people in the world. I mean have you been to the Czech Republic?

Rusyns - Ukrainians or not?

No, that's why I'm asking.

Rusyns - Ukrainians or not?

Some of them consider themselves Ukrainians, some don't. Actually, I don't have the answer.

Rusyns are Ukrainians who accepted Greek Catholicism and became the so-called Uniates. Their Ukrainian local speech was permeated with Slovak elements. They mostly lived in Ruthenia, which belonged to Austria-Hungary (a part of historical Hungary), now Ruthenia belongs to Ukraine.

Rusyn = Ruthenian

*Belorussians - never met one

South:
Serbs - complete lunatics
Slovenes - generally very nice, but sometimes can be a real pain in the arse
Bulgarians - they are not sure, whether they are Slavs or aren't...warm and welcoming, though
*Croatians - Goths, Slavs, Avars, Persians, Serbs?
*Bosnian Muslims - NOT Slavs, for me...never turn your back to them
*Montenegrins - very proud folk...half of them think they are Serbs, other half think they aren't

This is not so simple. And not all Rusyns are Greek Catholics, I guess at least half of them are Orthodox.

Also, Ruthenia does not belong to Ukraine, it's divided between Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary (and Poland?).

No, I think the whole of Ruthenia was given first to Czechoslaovakia after the first world war, and to USSR after the second. After the fall of the Soviet Union, it beacem part of independent Ukraine.

As for their religion, maybe some of them returned to Orthodoxy after Ruthenia became part of the Soviet Union. But in the ancient Austria-Hungary they were mostly Greek Catholic, maybe only a minority clinging to Orthodoxy.
