The Hutsuls (Ukrainian: Гуцули, romanized: Hutsuly; Polish: Huculi, Hucułowie; Romanian: huțuli) are an East Slavic ethnic group spanning parts of western Ukraine and Romania (i.e. parts of Bukovina and Maramureș).
They have often been officially and administratively designated a subgroup of Ukrainians,[4] and are largely regarded as constituting a broader Ukrainian ethnic group.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
For instance, the cross-reference "Carpatho-Rus" see "Carpatho-Rusyn" should include see also references to Ukrainians and Ukrainian Hutsuls because they constitute a subgroup of Ukrainians and speak Hutsul Ukrainian dialects.
