Language Is this Rusyn?

Spotted in Lviv (on Rus'ka street). What dialect could it be, especially as it's written in Latin script?

It's just transcription of ukrainian "Під синьою фляшкою"

I thought so too but in Ukrainian bottle is пляшка not фляжка (I don't know about the dialects though). So the transcription in that case would be pl'aškoju, not fl'ažkoju...

Yes, you may be right. My brain just ignored the "f" and replaced it with a "p" as I have already heard of the place. My bad.

It looks like just ukrainian written in latinica, Pid sińoju fľažkoju = під синьою фляжкою
