Belarusian
It's great that there is a book on Belarusian in Wiki Books. I've just read the introduction and I have some questions. First, I belive taht naming the situation of Belarus after the Polish-Lithuanian Union, which was freewill agreement between the two states with the term "subjugation" does not correspond to the historical facts. Subjugation is a result of military conquest or other forms of annexation, here we have juest an agreement. You could say something conrtary, as do histrians of the countries one forming the Commonwealth, but it proves, taht there are very different opinions even among scholars. The term "subjugation" allows only one side to tell our story.

The other thing is a notion about Austria, which annexed some parts of what is nowadays Ukraine. Did it have any impact on the Belarusian language?
