Oh my God...

Define "intelligentsiya". I did not know we had "cultural level codes"... 

Listen you guys cannot one day come here and claim that "there are less differences than between EN_US and EN_UK" and the other come here and tell us that it's a tragedy because we censor you as a unique language. 

It's either TWO languages or not. If yes:
- yours hasn't got an ISO code and shouldn't be hosted here
If no:
- the only thing that changed is minor things like "neighbor=neighbour" AND the admin structure. That is, you lost your internal mafia and cry for that.

I can understand that power is often a matter in human societies, yet... what do you get from being an admin in a wiki? Do you become popular? Do you have more sexual partners? Or do you get money to allow this or that article to be published? I don't know...

Start from defining "intelligentsiya", I'm really curious.

The 2005 paper bases on pre-reformed orthography used in emigrant communities and among intelligentsiya. It sums it up and standartises it.

Soviet-orthography wikipedians refused to compromise, so there will be two Belarusian wikipedias :(

Hoi,
The names you suggest are not what I would consider good proposals. Given
that this orthography is based on a paper in 2005 it hardly qualifies as
classic.
Thanks,
