You know me, I'm generally extremely sympathetic to the promotion of minority languages and I strive not to be judgmental about what goes under that label; the whole "language or dialect" argument is unscientific claptrap in my eyes. But I'm sorry, "Belarusian" just looks like ordinary Russian badly misspelled.

It's just Russian with bad spelling.

Have I told you how much I hated trying to talk with the Belarusian and Ukranian cleaners when I was at Jewel because they would understand but never respond in standard Russian? Yeah. -_-

Trying to talk with or trying to chat up?

Talk WITH. The only one I tried to chat up was Super Hot Ukranian Bear Daddy With The Wife Who Looked Like A Weeble, and he spoke English already, at least somewhat.
