   • 2020 February 10, О. Планчак Сакач, “У шлєбодним кральовским варошу убудована и руска история”, in Руске Слово‎^[1]:

     Од самого початку варош бул вецейнационални. У нїм жили Серби, Мадяре, Горвати, Словаци, Руснаци, Греки, Цинцаре, Євреє, Румунє, Роми и ище велї.

     Od samoho počatku varoš bul vecejnacionalni. U njim žili Serbi, Madjare, Horvati, Slovaci, Rusnaci, Hreki, Cincare, Jevreje, Rumunje, Romi i išče velji.

     From the very start the village was multinational. In it lived Serbs, Hungarians, Croats, Slovaks, Rusyns, Greek, Aromanians, Jews, Romanians, Roma and even more.

• This is the neutral term to refer to Romani people. Циґан (Cigan, “Gypsy”) may or may not be offensive depending on the person; some Roma in the Balkans, especially older Roma, may refer to themselves as Циган / Cigan; however, the term may also be used by non-Roma in a pejorative manner, unlike Ром (Rom). In Pannonian Rusyn in particular, there also exist the term циґан (cigan, “liar”) and the associated циґанїц (ciganjic, “to tell a lie”), which are Old Slovak inherits, and have largely lost any particular ethnic association.
