Ruthenia (Polish: Ruś, Lithuanian: Rutenija, Belorussian: рутэнія (rutenija)), sometimes called Rus or, archaically, Black Ruthenia, is a Voivodeship of Poland in the east of Poland-Lithuania. It is the 5th largest and 8th most populous voivodeship in Poland, and home to the greatest number of officially recognised minority languages and ethnic groups in Poland-Lithuania. As one of the six Polish voivodeships, Ruthenia is represented in the Polish Sejm and speaks Polish as its principle official language, along with Lithuanian, Belorussian, and Ukrainian as co-official or recognised regional languages.
