One early proponent of the Belarusian language, poet Frantsishak Bahushyevich (1840-1900), the father of modern Belarusian literature and a participant in the 1863 uprising, was inspired by the fact that many 200- and 300-year-old documents written in Belarusian could be read and understood easily in modern times.
In the early 1920s, Belarusian language and culture flourished, and the language was promoted as the official medium of the communist party and the government as well as of scholarly, scientific, and educational establishments.

The Old Russian language, also called the Old Ruthenian language, or, perhaps Late Old East Slavic was, in the tenth to the sixteenth centuries, a language spoken, though not exclusively, roughly in the area today occupied by European Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and parts of Poland and Lithuania.
This Old Russian language is the predecessor to the modern Ukrainian, Rusyn or Ruthenian, and Belarusian languages, as well as, of course, to the modern Russian language.
Obviously, it is impossible to consider this language standardised in the modern sense.

But since the wikipedia language linking system does not work for three letters codes until now, it would be good for proper linking to move the present low saxon content of za.wikipeda.com to pd.wikipeda.com (which is not in use and - since there is no other language with this code - won't be in future).
The no.wikipedia.org states in its current written language policy (also disputed and made by Wolfram) that bokmål is to be used, riksmål is not mentioned.
The official language called "bokmål" (literally "book language", but meaning "Standard Norwegian"), which was developed from riksmål, but (unsuccessfully) merged with nynorsk, was originally only used by the government, and was not very popular, to express it mildly.

 Belarusian language : Belorusian language
The Belarusian language has evolved considerably from its early roots, as the dialects of Ruthenian[?] (East Slavic Orthodox) spoken in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania[?].
By the 16th century, the term "Ruthenian" referred to the language spoken in modern-day Ukraine and Belarus; a process of divergence that accelerated in the 17th century created a new division between the languages spoken in the south (Ukraine) and north (Belarus) of Ruthenian-speaking territory.
This lack of a strong ethnolinguistic identity, along with the popular association of Belarusian dialects as rural peasant languages as opposed to Russian's modern/urban connotations, is seen by some to threaten the eventual extinction of the Belarusian language in Belarus.

By contrast, when languages differ according to interactional and human interactional properties, this means that while some languages use a given interactional property, others ignore it in favor of inherent properties.

Until modern times it was applied to territories inhabited by speakers of East Slavic languages ( Russian, Ukrainian, Belorusian) or to territories of contemporary Ukraine only.
The Grand Duchy of Lithuania, taken as a whole, was basically a Ruthenian state, as it was populated mainly by Ruthenians, its nobles were of Ruthenian origins, and a variant of Old Slavonic close to Belarusian is the sole language of most surviving official documents of the state prior to 1697.
On the contrary, a Ukrainian or Belorusian (especially a nationalist) would translate this word as Ruthenia.

Dear linguists, In issue 14.35 (Linguist 14.35) I posted a query on nationally neutral linguistic terms for the common written language used by the ancestors of Ukrainians and Belorussians, which they themselves called ''prostaja mova'' ('simple language'), ''ruskaja mova'' ('language of the Rus') or even just ''slovenskaja mova'' ('Slavonic language').
It is coined from the word ''prostaja mova'' ('simple language') used by the 16th/17th century writers themselves.
So, a Belorusian, Ukrainian or Rusyn might write of "our language of the 16th century", but I as a German cannot write "their language" or anything like that.
