A man from Bratislava arrives in \u0160ari\u0161, sits down in a local pub and suddenly realises that his Slovak might not be up to scratch. And when Rusyn is added to the \u0160ari\u0161 dialect, you start to wonder whether you might have accidentally crossed the national border on the way. But you certainly haven\u2019t! He\u2019s still in Slovakia; he\u2019s just arrived in \u0160ari\u0161 \u2013 a region where, within a relatively small area, languages, nationalities, dialects and religions have been intermingling for centuries. And that is precisely what makes it so fascinating. Whilst in one village you\u2019ll hear the \u0160ari\u0161 dialect, a few kilometres further on you\u2019ll hear Rusyn. A Roman Catholic church gives way to a Greek Catholic church, and round the next bend you might come across an Orthodox church. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
