Map Description:
Classifications of the Belorussian dialects tend to agree on dividing them into the north-eastern group and the south-western group. This map shows these two large groups subdivided further; the north-eastern group comprises the Polack group and the Vicebsk-Malihëŭ group, whereas the south-western group comprises the Brèst-Pinsk group, the Western group and the Sluck-Babrujsk-Mazyr group. The band of central dialects shown, which lies between these two major groups, is considered to be transitional.
