Dear you should leave your ridiculous nationalism in the Belarusian wiki Your naive attempts to belarusianize Smolensk will not be accepted in this international project 1 The so called Belarusian is not spoken anywhere within hundreds of kilometers from Smolensk and you know that The state language of Belarus is Russian You may provide a Chinese spelling if you like but this data will be deleted as absolutely irrelevant 2 The Russian and Belarusian pronunciation of the city name seems to be identical Smalensk That the Russian spelling follows more closely the ancient East Slavic norm and the Belarusian strays from that norm to demonstrate its questionable identity doesn t matter that much 3 Stop flooding the article with factual inaccuracies to the effect that Smolensk used to be a part of Belarus in 1919 which is simply not true I don t care which nationalistic leaflet provided you with the crap you d like to insert in the article but anyway don t forget to cite your sources Medieval population
