Muttersprachler der belarussischen Sprache

Interesting. Apart from Ireland, what other countries have their native tongue in minority usage?

Strange country. Always been part of others – Kyiv Rus, after Lithuania occupied them, later Rusia, Poland and etc.

They are like north Macedonia – trying to take other neighbors history ( like trying to steal Lithuania’s glorious past ).

It’s pretty much a dead language there, the numbers show people who claim to speak the language, not that they actually able to.

I am from Ukraine and I’ve been to Belarus many times, traveled all over it, been in every region, in big cities and small villages.

I have never heard anyone speak Belarusian once. Old people in villages dropping in some Belarusian words, some people have slight accent(kinda similar to Polish with soft S) and that’s about it.

It is not like in Ukraine where we actually used Ukrainian even when we had russian-aligned government, in Belarus they completely abandoned their language, no jobs, no universities, no nothing in it.
