True, although when it comes to the languages themselves English and Scots might be better examples to compare with Russian and Belarusian, as (unlike English and Irish) the languages are closely related. In fact, a novel _Alindarka's Children_ by Alhierd Bacharevic in Russian intertwined with Belarusian was recently translated into English intertwined with Scots.

The tragicomic fact about the Belarusian language is that the only place where it has favorable conditions for learning and existence is Poland and the region of Podlasie. Where a minority of about 50,000 Belarusians live. And the Belarusian language is a post-ministry language in state offices and the language of instruction in schools.

Here are some ideas for the next part: - Pomorian language. Pomors are usually considered an ethnographic group of Russians, however they have their own language that arguably derives from the Novgorodian language, which makes it distinct fron all other Slavic languages into its own subgroup (in addition to the three acknowleged ones: Western, Eastern and South). - Siberian language. Can be considered a dialect of Russian. The language the Siberian exiles spoke, it has much less of the Latin and Germanic influence on it and more of Turcic. It has been extinct for now, however there are attempts to revive it and it's already getting the first ones of its new speakers.

One thing that both Sorbians have in common with Bohemian/Common Czech is the initial V (W) in front of O. Knowing Czech I found the Upper Sorbian pretty easy to understand, the Lower Sorbian seemed a bit tricky to me though. When I hear natives speaking it on KZread, I can understand quite a bit, and it seems like they have a "German accent" in a way, which I think is natural given the intense contact (like Cajun French speakers in LA, or Mexican-American speakers in the CA), and I don't mind--it's really great that people are preserving these languages and I hope that people keep encouraging their growth and development.

Nice! I am waiting for 3rd part about Slavic languages, I guess mostly about South Slavic languages. It is worth to mention that Slovenian and Serbo-Croatian form dialect continuum. Whole Lower Austria (Vienna, Linz) was Slavic until Carantania was ended by Bavarians at the beginning of IX c. People in whole Panonia were speaking Slavic languages, but they disappeared once Hungarian came 1100+ years ago. Initially Czech/Slovak languages were more similar to South-Slavic languages, but once Hungarians came, they separates Czechs/Slovaks from South Slavs. Please also mention about Old Novgorod. They speak differently than in Moscow. Ruthenian language is just Old-Ukrainian/Old-Belarusian. Slowly changed into Ukrainian, Belarusian and Rusyn. Masurian is not real language. It is just variety of Masovia dialect of Polish language. There is also other know subdialect of Masovia dialect: Podlasie subdialect (gwara podlaska).

From what I understand when my grandmother was still a child asked her father how to spell her name in his native language.

He stated he was from Austria Hungary, he grew up in the village of nova mesta, in the Julian Alps, and the family goes back centuries living on the same place.

Tbf the Russian alphabet doesn't have all of the Cyrillic features and it has changed over time so the right thing is to specify which variety of the Cyrillic alphabet.

Pannonian Rusyn actually always uses Cyrillic alphabet, both in Serbia and Croatia. Latin alphabet is being used only very informally, but not in schools, publishing or media. Also, there are only probably less than 50 speakers of the language in Bosnia. The thing is that during the Yugoslav times, until 1975 or so, Rusyns and Ukrainians were showed together as one group in the census, and the Ukrainian community in Bosnia was and still is way larger than the Rusyn community (not really a community, just individuals living all around the country).

Well, it's a long story and a lot of terminological confusion. Historically, Belorussians were either "Rusins" or "Litvins". In fact, they were the core population of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and their language "Rusin" (Old Belorussian) was the chancellery language. In the 16th-18th centuries, a guy from Belorussia was probably a "Rusin" in his town, a "Litvin" in Warsaw, and a "Polish" when he went abroad. Now the term "Litvin" is taken by Samogitians (cause most historical Lithuanians became either Polish or Belorussians) and the terms Rusin, Russkiy were adopted by Moscovites (to justify their claim for the territories of Kievan Rus). So, for a foreseeable future, Belorussians will remain Belorussians. However, maybe there are some Belorussians that could comment on this? Maybe I missed something.

Oh yes, Жыве Беларусь! I very much hope the Belarusian language will have a revival once Lukashenko's pathetic regime is finally gone! Do you know that Belarusian (Old Belarusian/the variety of Ruthenian that we now call Belarusian) was traditionally also written in a modified version of the Arabic script called Arabitsa (Арабіца, Arabica)? It was developed by the Muslim Tatars of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, also known as the Lipka Tatars - an absolutely fascinating community that survived to this day in Belarus, Lithuania and Poland. Also, look up the novel _Alindarka's Children_ by Alhierd Baharevich.
