Belarusian is spoken by about 3 million people, principally in the Eastern European nation of Belarus, where it is co-official alongside Russian. An Indo-European language of the Slavic family, it is closely related to Russian, Rusyn, and Ukrainian, and more distantly so to Polish, Slovak, and Czech. A literary language since at least the 1500s ACE, Modern Belarusian was standardized towards the turn of the twentieth century. Read more on Wikipedia: http://bit.ly/1LJgZOH.

In Belarus almost nobody speaks Belarusian. Belarusian is spoken only in villages, but in big cities almost everywhere Russian language is heard. My name is Pavel, I'm a normal Belarusian boy, I was born in a little town near Minsk, which is the capital of my country. I study in a linguistical university. This summer I decided to travel with my friend, we wander around the Balkans, Spain, Italy, and so on. And today we are in Kosovo, in Priština and I like this place and I would like to come here one more time.
