On March 25, 1918, under German occupation the Belarusian People's Republic was proclaimed and although its period in history was brief, its inspiration lived on, and for once the official language of all communication in the BNR was Belarusian.

Belarusian (беларуская мова) is the language of the Belarusian nation.
After the series of wars known in Polish history as the Deluge, the Belarusian population was halved, partly due to deaths, and partly due to the policy of deportations of skilled craftsman and workers to Russia by the occupying Russian army.
The largest centre of Belarusian cultural activity, in the Belarusian language, outside Belarus is in the Polish province of Białystok, which is home to a long-established Belarusian minority.
