The Boykos or Boikos (Rusyn: бойки; Ukrainian: бойки, romanized: boiky; Polish: Bojkowie; Slovak: Pujďáci), or simply Highlanders (Ukrainian: верховинці, romanized: verkhovyntsi; Rusyn: ґоралы, romanized: goraly), are an ethnolinguistic group located in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. Along with the neighbouring Lemkos and Hutsuls, the Boykos are considered a sub-group of Rusyns and speak a distinct East Slavic dialect.[3] Within Ukraine, the Boykos and other Rusyns are seen as a sub-group of ethnic Ukrainians.[4][5] Boykos differ from their neighbors in dialect, dress, folk architecture, and customs.

To their west are the Lemkos, and to the east, the Hutsuls. All three groups of Slavs,who speak distinct dialects, are among the people known as Rusyns, or Carpartho-Rusyns.
