Rusyn love poem

Твüй образ у дзиркалі
То мüй майфайный вüрш
Пилуйся, вüн пропадать
"Я тя люблю!" не вповім бüльш

A dialect of Ukrainian?
Translation of my love poem into modern Ruthenian. The ancient Ruthenian is the ancestor of Belarusian, Ukrainian, rusyn. This living eastern Slavic language is considered by some to be a dialect of Ukrainian. Ruthenian is also the name given earlier to Ukrainian that was spoken in Galicia, Bucovina and Hungary. There are several dialects and 60,000 speakers in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia among others.
The Ruthenians
The Ruthenians are Slavs, from the East, established in the Eastern Carpathians, Bukovina and Galicia, regions that were subjected to Hungarian and Polish domination and are now in Ukraine (North Bukovina (Tchernivtsi)), et Roumanie (South Bukovina).
