Important! New Orthograhy Rules in Belarusian (2005!)

[Uladzimir Katkouski]

Dear SEELANGers,

As some of you probably know, ever since the Soviet
language reform of 1933 brought Belarusan orthographic
norms closer to Russian, Belarusan language has
existed in two orthographic flavours: the Soviet
version (the so called "narkamauka"), and the
classical version (pre-1933 version). After Belarus
gained independence in 1990's the talks started about
bringing the classical version up-to-date to reflect
the changes in the language and to make the spelling
of loan words more systematic. The document presented
below (in PDF and Microsoft Word formats) is a result
of several years' intensive work done by a group of
distinguished Belarusian linguists:

Please, read and feel free to distribute it further.
If you have any questions regarding this document,
I'll be happy to answer them (if I can).

Sincerely,
Uladzimir Katkouski
