As some of you might know Belarusan language exists in
two versions. In 1933 communists made a major language
reform, bringing orthography norms closer to
"brotherly" Russian language. Ever since then Soviet
Belarus used those Soviet rules (narkamauka), and
diaspora used the Classical orthography (from around
1914). Upon gaining independence in the 1990's the
question of the writing system popped up again.
Unfortunately, the current government of Lukashenka
completely ignores all language issues. But a small
working group was working hard for several years to
bring the old Classical standard from almost 100 years
ago up-to contemporary needs and standards. Finally,
they decided to ask non-linguists, just normal native
speakers, what they think about certain problematic
issues. And here I've made the electronic version of
their opinion poll. I am not responsible for the
actual content of the questions or/and how it will be
used by the members of the Working group.

Kind regards,
