Rusyns, also known as Ruthenes are a diasporic ethnic group. They speak an East Slavic language known as Rusyn and descend from Ruthenian people who did not adopt the use of the ethnonym "Ukrainian" in the early 20th century. As residents of the Carpathian Mountains region, Rusyns are also often associated with the Slovak highlander community of Gorals.

The flag of Carpathian Ruthenia was adopted on the 20th of August 2015.
