 Reformation in Belarus
But the decline of the Byelorussian language under Polish and Russian domination, and the destruction or loss of many of the older editions, had left the Byelorussian people at the beginning of the 20th century with virtually no Scriptural texts in their own language.
After an almost ritual reference to the Bible of Francis Skaryna, and to the suppression of the Byelorussian language by the Tsars, the appeal goes on to criticise the pro-Polish and pro-Russian leanings of the Catholic and Orthodox churches, and requests the Bible Society to "publish a Bible for Byelorussians in their mother tongue".

Independence, and the revival of Byelorussian language as the medium of pablic life, has evoked among Byelorussians not only widespread interest in their own history and traditions but also in the history and traditions of the Jews, who for many centuries have been cohabitants of this part of Eastern Europe.
Biadula, writing casually of Jewish children studying in Byelorussian schools, could not foresee the decades ahead, when Moscow's selection of Byelarus as a test-bed for its policy of sliyaniye would mean that, by the mid-1980s, not a single school in the capital, Minsk, would use Byelorussian as the medium of instruction.

The two-character language codes of ISO 639 are relevant to SGML encoding in two respects.
Second, the WSD (Writing System Declaration) implemented in the Text Encoding Initiative uses the [two-character] language code of ISO 639 (as amended) as a language.code attribute of the nat.language declaration, specifying the language in which the WSD is written.
The two-character language codes of ISO 639 are recognized as being inadequate for use as SGML language attributes when tagging text, viz, for use as global lang attributes attached to any element to identify the language of the text element or a language shift.

 Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1920s and early 1930s, the government conducted a policy of korenizatsiya (indigenization) of local governments in an effort to recruit non-Russians into the new Soviet political institutions and to reduce the conflict between Russians and the minority nationalities.
While Russian became a required subject of study in all Soviet schools in 1938, in the mainly non-Russian areas the chief language of instruction was the local language or languages.
This practice led to widespread bilingualism in the educated population, though among smaller nationalities and among elements of the population that were heavily affected by the immigration of Russians, linguistic assimilation also was common, in which the members of a given non-Russian nationality lost facility in the historic language of their group.

Russian language belongs to Indoeuropean family, Slavic group, East Slavic branch.
Its closest relatives are the remaining two East Slavic languages: Ukrainian and Byelorussian, Byelorussian being the closest (I must admit, that in Belarus beyond the countryside people speak only Russian, not Byelorussian, so Byelorussian is possibly endangered language).
On the vast territory of Russia you will see almost no dialectal divisions, almost all people speak common literary language, only old people might still use local dialects which vary little from place to place.

it might be expected that in transfers from culture of one nation to the other, the Jews, as the nation with the greater culture, should have had the advantage over the Byelorussians and should have had the greater influence, but in reality it is the other way around.
