This region was historically inhabited by Byzantine Rite Christians from the Carpathian Mountains (Ruthenians and Romanians).

Particulars are often seen as concrete, spatiotemporal entities as opposed to abstract entities, such as properties or numbers. There are, however, theories of ''abstract particulars'' or '' tropes''. For example, Socrates Socrates (; ; – 399 BC) was a Ancient Greek philosophy, Greek philosopher from Classical Athens, Athens who is credited as the founder of Western philosophy and as among the first moral philosophers of the Ethics, ethical tradition ... is a particular (there's only one Socrates-the-teacher-of-Plato and one cannot make copies of him, e.g., by cloning him, without introducing new, distinct particulars).

The Catholic Church consists of 24 churches, including the Latin Church and 23 Eastern Catholic churches.

The spelling in Classical Latin is ''sui iuris'', and in Medieval Latin ''sui juris''. English Law gets the term from Medieval Latin, and so spells it ''sui juris''. Catholic canon law Church documents such as the ''Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches'' apply the Latin term ''sui iuris'' to the particular Churches that are together the Catholic Chu ...
