She said “come to Belarus, just be accurate”. Accurate or Аккуратный inrussian language means “Careful”. So she is literally saying: “come to Belarus, just be careful”. It’s a special “carefullness” that only people from Belarus will understand. Being careful for them means to survive. Жыве Беларусь! This people is incredibly kind, open, wise, frank

[@AleSalvino]

Thanks for adding all these details and analysis. Indeed, they were super nice, wise and they spent a lot of time to show me their cities/towns! 🙏

[@jorllx]

I suppose she means "be polite", because people in this country are probably the most kind and polite, even naive, in Europe. If you behave rudely, somebody will probably call the police .. this is not a country where you can go and insult the cops, like in the USA, for example, or even insult or disrespect other people in the street, as it happens all the time everywhere in the West.. if you do that, you will have problems with the police..and if you insult the cops, you will go to prison for sure.

[@koromachbharat]

so why to survive? whats d point? is it a warning?

[@jorllx]

@@koromachbharat I guess she means "be polite", because this country is the safest country in Europe by far.. you can watch videos of Western youtubers living there and they all agree that it is extremely safe, the rule of law is very high being an authoritarian regime, it is obvious watching the streets, you don't see dodgy people anywhere, it is 100 % polite-looking people...

[@SerhiiKun]

​@@АлексейНадеждин-и9э in general, this is a very big problem, for centuries Russia Russified Belarusians like all other peoples, and with the politics of Lukashenko, identity continues to be erased, if we do not fight for language and culture, then Russia will finally achieve its long-standing dream - to erase identity, so that people begin to consider themselves by the Russians in order to nationalize new lands by this method and destroy the Belarusians as a nation

[@АлексейНадеждин-и9э]

@@SerhiiKun In fact, Russian is a native language for Belarusian people. This is not a fiction, not a false paradigm, it is a fact. Abandoning the Russian language would be a step against the development and progress of the Belarusian nation. The Russian language makes us, the Belarusian people, richer culturally. The Russian language unites people. We will not allow silly nationalists to deprive us of our wealth - the Russian language

[@al3mat]

"The Belarusian language is not dying, it's just that I was born and raised here and I don't speak it" That's literally the definition of dying language. Luka transformed the country into a Russian dictatorial colony without its own identity.

[@Trip4man]

Dude... Languages evolve and stuff... You go to Latin countries... They're not speaking Latin anymore! In fact Italians speak italian, Spanish speak Spanish, Portuguese speak Portuguese.... And even in those languages there are accents!!! Now... Some people could say "accent it's just a different melody of the Primary language" but.... Some accents are so strong and different that they almost sound like another language! Soooooo, you can have the Primary language and then "sub-languages" running in the same country! In general though, that "sub-language" with an extraordinary accent that almost sounds like another language, occurs in far away countries (ex-colonies of Empires). But it's not like an exact thing... The further you are, the more different it sounds... Because you can make like 400km in that country and still come across with those sub-languages. It seems that Belarussians maintain their identities but are more "Russi-fied". What's the problem with that??? We all have bits and pieces of other cultures... If people were to maintain their traditions.... They would be living in caves and hunting animals! That was the "tradition"! Maintaining tradition can be a stupid thing. If Belarussians want to speak Russian... So be it

[@al3mat]

@@Trip4man all the other slav languages are not russian "sub-language". What an ignorant point of view. Belarusian could do what thay want to, if they wasn't living in a dictatorship. It's like saying "dude, iranians want to kill their political persecuted, it's their tradition, what's wrong with that? 🤷🏻‍♂️" I know a lot of belarusian guys, they want to be free and autonomous country with their own culture and history. Not a russian slaves as Luka wants them to be. 2020 revolution showed that.

[@rocinante4488]

Belarussian is not a language completely distinct from Russian. It's a dialectical continuum. Even before the Soviet Union, the slavic languages were spread over Russia and eastern Europe. And gradually as you moved from place to place, the spoken language was different. Neighboring areas obviously could understand each other, but the further away you went, the harder it was to understand. The Russians promoted their Moscow version of Russian across the empire, as a standard lingua franca, to promote education, broadcasting, movies, etc. This replacement of dialects has happened many times over the centuries as empires have expanded influence (and their language) across the populations they have come to dominate. Belarussian is not a sort of pure language isolate being wiped out. It's a highly related Slavic dialect that was replaced during the Soviet Union by standard Russian in order to promote integration. It is the same with the Ukrainian "language". This is life, and every language on Earth has undergone this process continuously.

[@al3mat]

@@rocinante4488 Neither the Belarusian nor the Ukrainian language derives from Russian. You are saying that man comes from monkey. Not only that, you're saying what's the point of humans existing if monkeys exist. So what's the point of having Italian, Spanish, French, Romanian if they are all "dialects" of Latin anyway? What is the point of English, German or Dutch if they are all "dialects" of the Germanic language?

[@rocinante4488]

@@al3mat The line must be drawn somewhere. We live in a more connected society than before, which is why we need fewer languages for communication. In france 300 years ago, there were dozens of different "languages", which were in reality different dialects on a comprehension continuum. A can speak to B perfectly fine, B can speak to C perfectly fine, but A and C cannot understand one another. Obviously this is oversimplified but you get the point. Eventually parisian french took precedence and the other dialects morphed into common standard French with maybe peculiar accents. Standard Russian has taken precedence over that area, and it's not necessarily a tragedy that people dont speak Belarussian. It is what it is. Just like it's not a tragedy that people in Bourdeaux, France speak in French now, and not in Occitan. Cultures shift. Are we going to begin publishing every book and technical manual in the world to Belarussian so that the 50,000 people left living in remote farming communities in Belarus can know how to do nuclear fision or fly boeing 777s or perform heart surgery?

[@krasutskyy]

Until 2022, Ukrainians and Belarusians were best friends. But in 2022, Belarus took part in military aggression against Ukraine. And yes, the kinship of the Ukrainian and Belarusian languages ​​is 85%, but now it doesn't matter anymore.

Прошу не забувати і закарбувати назавжди. З території Білорусі в 2022 році довгий час летіли ракети на Україну, щоб вбивати українців. Тобто їх запускали білоруси. Довгий час залишалася небезпека наступу змосковщених білорусів на північно- західні та північні території України. Вони пропускали важку російську техніку через свою територію, щоб недоістоти московити їхали вбивати українців.

Здорово, что есть Белорусы, которые заботятся о сохранении своего культурного наследия. Это важно и нужно.Но я также не понимаю, что плохого в сохранении истории, когда это была одна страна. В советском союзе жили такие же люди, как мы сейчас. Хорошие и плохие. Веселые и не очень. Разные, но люди. Я могу заблуждаться, но предполагаю, что коренные жители Аргентины не разговаривали на языке Испанских колонизаторов. И не вели блоги на языке Английской империи...*играет печальная мелодия*

[@jorllx]

most of the territory of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus was the same kingdom in the middle ages, called The Rus, with capital Kiev, and the official and most spoken language was Russian. They don't speak the language of their neighbour Russia.. they have always spoken Russian...Even in Ukraine, more than half of the people, even now, speak Russian as their family language. Russian is the most spoken language of those 3 countries since the middle ages. When you watch videos of Ukrainian soldiers in the battlefield, most of them speak Russian. There are even videos of some of them saying that they would like to speak Ukrainian but they speak it very badly. "Da" means yes in Russian. In Ukrainian it is a different word. Watch videos of Ukrainian soldiers in the battlefield and you will hear this word all the time, so you will understand they speak Russian.

[@Anthony-db7cs]

@@jorllx They speak Russian because of Russification. Russia is a backwards country that only gained power after Germany left a power vacuum after WW2 and they took full advantage of that through Russification. Russians still haven't discovered Democracy. They destroy beautiful architecture both from Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and former German places and replace it with grotesque, poor soviet buildings, including in Minsk. Stop pretending like they are "one people" to justify Russia and they anti self determination and pro war nonsense. You love autocracy, don't you?

Question of language. Why don't people speak Belarusian privately? The fact is that the Russian language is a very recognized language in the world, also thanks to Russian culture and science. For example, Russian is one of the few main languages ​​of world mathematics. If you are a young person studying niche languages ​​that are not widely spoken in the world, in which much less is written in academia, and so on, then it may be your choice to preserve that language, but this means effort that will not give you many advantages. Therefore, in, for example, Kazakhstan, which is completely different in terms of language, people, although they speak Kazakh more often, precisely because it cannot be so easily replaced by the Russian language in communication, still very much value a good knowledge of the Russian language. And even in Georgia, as I learned, this is not uncommon.

[@elliotjung1766]

Since the times when Grand Duchy of Lithuania (the previous name of Belarus) was dismembered and some territoreis of it were annexed, the language started dying. I mean "dying" of course, because obviously, there is a lot of money being spent to make it dissapear as well as cultrure, history etc.

[@dandelobo9284]

@@elliotjung1766 ChatGPT AI on this topic: These statements can be assessed as follows: "The Belarusian language is the state language of Belarus along with Russian." This statement is true. The Constitution of the Republic of Belarus recognizes two state languages: Belarusian and Russian. "This means you can conduct all your business on it in government offices, courts, police and so on." This is also true. Both languages ​​can be used in formal situations, although in practice Russian is often preferred in everyday administrative matters. "However, much more valuable information for modern life is created in Russian, and it is very similar to Belarusian." This statement is controversial. Indeed, many of the resources and information available in Belarus may be in Russian, as it is the lingua franca of the post-Soviet space. However, it is important to note that the Belarusian and Russian languages, although they have similarities due to their common Slavic origins, are still separate languages. "That's why people prefer to speak Russian: it's easy for them, and it gives them much more opportunities, because many more people also speak Russian, and the prospects for communicating in this language are also much greater." To a large extent this is true. The Russian language is widely spoken and used in business, science, culture and other areas, which makes it attractive for use in everyday life. "However, the Belarusian language is not dying; it is supported by the state." This statement is also true. Despite the predominance of the Russian language, the Belarusian language is supported at the state level through educational programs, cultural events and legislative measures. "Lithuania and the Lithuanian language have nothing in common with the Belarusian language." It's right. Lithuanian belongs to the Baltic language group, and Belarusian belongs to the East Slavic group. “It was Lithuania, once a powerful state, that annexed the Slavic lands of Belarus.” Historically this is true. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania included the territories of modern Belarus, Ukraine and part of Russia. "Lithuania was not originally a state inhabited by Slavic peoples." This is also true. Initially, the territory of modern Lithuania was inhabited by Baltic tribes. In general, most statements are based on historical and contemporary facts, although some may require clarification and context for the full picture.

[@elliotjung1766]

@@dandelobo9284 " “It was Lithuania, once a powerful state, that annexed the Slavic lands of Belarus.” It was never annexed by Lithunaia. Lithunia did not exist back then. Belarus had not existed before the moscovian empire annexation. It is a colonial name for the annexed territories.

@@elliotjung1766 Nobody forbids Belarusians to use their language in all areas of their lives today. If this is really important to them and they are therefore willing to sacrifice a number of serious objective advantages of using the most widespread language on post-Soviet territory, which is Russian, they can do this. However, there is no objective possibility of making the use of the Belarusian language as profitable as the use of Russian, because it is impossible to make it as widespread in the information and interethnic space as Russian, which is very easy for Belarusians to switch to if they speak their own language.

People let me tell you what happens with the language issue in Republic of Belarus. They speak Russian language, and that's it. Point. Full stop. Nothing else to tell. But - there is something else to tell. There is a little minority; I don't know how many percent, maybe under 1% that's for sure. And these people think that we should forget our mother language (and this is Russian). They tell us that we are supposed to speak our own separate language as a mother language. If you don’t - then you are a slave of Russia, something like this. Well and they insist that we should learn from the scratch invented by them language - the one that doesn’t exist anymore. For what reason, you wander? For no reason, just because they think it’s right for you. You don't see these people on the streets of our cities. No, you only meet these people on the internet, they write comments. They accuse us that we are not patriotic enough if we don't want to speak the Belorussian language. Nobody speaks Belorussian language in Belarus, nobody except for some crazy fanatics.
