	Top Literature - Trasianka
		Trasianka is the kind of language typically spoken by villagers in Belarus whose first acquired language is Belarusian, but who abandoned it in favor of Russian, seeing Russian as more "urban," "fashionable," or "civilized." Thus they ended up speaking this "mixture" (interlanguage, see Liskovets, 2002).
		It is also spoken by some educated (older or middle-aged) people, for example, by the Belarusian president Lukashenka (in the half of the 1990s) or the minister of agriculture (observed in 2005) and others.
		Overall, trasianka was ignored by the mainstream linguists and sociologists in Belarus and abroad until the 1990s when the first articles which explicitly deal with trasianka started to appear (cf.

	Trasianka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Belarusian-Russian borderland, at least, the same phenomenon is not called "trasianka" (the word as such is usually not known in that part of Belarus).
		The expression used there is most often "meshanka", with similar meaning as "trasianka" (this information is based on an interdisciplinary research carried out in the disctrict of Horki and Drybin in 2004).
		Although it does have its structural regulatities, trasianka is relatively variable and presents rather a linguistic continuum between Belarusian and Russian than a discrete linguistic system.

		Trasianka peut ętre le seul et unique moyen de communication pour certaines personnes, mais elle peut aussi ętre utilisée dans sa forme caricaturale, chez des personnes cultivées, parlant habituellement russe quand elles décident de passer au biélorusse.
		Il faut cependant reconnaître que cette „trasianka” a touché beaucoup plus le personnel administratif et technique des villages et des villes que la simple population rurale.
		Tout comme trasianka, qui est dérivée du bilinguisme et de la diglossie, et qui conduit à un unilinguisme russe, la di-ethnie biélorusso-russe favorise l’effacement des différences des nationalités de la société.

		Le terme « trasianka » fut certainement le qualificatif le plus employé par les intellectuels de l’époque pour définir la langue du président au début de son premier mandat.
		En outre, le phénomène de mélange que désigne le terme « trasianka » pouvait désormais être utilisé comme preuve que le peuple russe était loin d’être le seul artisan de sa langue.
