Packet 5: Tossup 9

This language’s “Warrior March” was replaced by an anthem beginning “We,” but protesters often sing its Catholic hymn “Almighty God” on a July 3rd Independence Day. A monument for the Day of Writing honors this language’s use of the “short U.” This language, which is mixed with a more prestigious one in trasianka, (10[1])is occasionally written with an Arabic alphabet created by the Lipka Tatars, or in the (10[1]-5[1])Łacinka (“laht-SEEN-ka”) script. Although this national language is virtually absent from universities, the Mova Nanova course seeks to revive it (-5[1])in Baranavichy (“ba-RA-na-VEE-chee”) and Babruysk. This language’s writer (10[1])Vasil Bykaŭ (-5[1])names streets in Zhlobin, Mogilev, and Gomel. (10[1])This (10[1])language’s banned Taraškievica (“tah-rahsh-KYEV-it-suh”) orthography (10[1]-5[1])was (10[1])codified in Poland when its homeland was in the Northwestern Krai. For 10 points, Russian (-5[1])has supplanted what related language in Grodno, (10[1]-5[1])Vitebsk, (10[2])Brest, (10[2])Pinsk, (10[2])and Minsk? ■END■ (10[7])
