Get an instant free sample translation into Lemko here.

Lemko genetically belongs to the southwestern Ukrainian dialect system, within which it is differentiated by fixed stress on the next-to-last syllable (Orynycz, 2023). Such dialects are indigenous to, minoritized, and endangered in territories now administered by Poland and, since 1993, the Slovak Republic, where they are often referred to as Rusyn and subsequently confused for dialects of similar names. If you are from the American diaspora or adjacent at-risk communities, you may have heard your heritage language called Carpatho-Russian or Carpatho-Rusyn in childhood.

The translator app makes use of AI neural machine translation to deliver translations with outstanding accuracy, as measured by the DARPA-backed BLEU metric.

Happy translating!

      Hi Georgianna, thank you for reaching out. There was some system maintenance today, is it working for you now?

    When will you make a Rusyn translator? I would love to see that.

      Thanks for your interest in the project, Aleksandar. Work on the translator for Rusyn as codified in Slovakia will start as soon as the Lemko translator achieves a near-human or superhuman bilingual evaluation understudy (BLEU) score. Hopefully soon!

    Just a question, what is the difference between Lemko and Rusyn?

      Joseph

      Geography, dialect + accent. Lemko as a subset of RUSYN.
      Take the above as opinion. 🙂

        The above is not opinion. It is correct.

    Lemko is very close to Polish. Was Lemko Polonized?

      Perhaps Polish is close to Lemko-Rusyn. (Another PoV)

    Would you also be adding an audio pronunciation for the results?

      Hey Christina, absolutely I want you to be able to click a button and hear the audio pronunciation. Thanks for the request!
