Talk:Languages of Belarus

"Soviet suppresion of Sudovian"
first, quote from the article

"Sudovian was systematically suppressed under the Russian and Soviet domination of Belarus. As late as the 1980s, children speaking Sudovian at school and incapable of carrying a coherent conversation in Russian/Belorussian, were listed as "mentally impaired," and sent to relevant institutions for the handicap. There are scores of Samizdat covering this issue during the Soviet era. None, however, have been generated after the breakup of USSR."

now question,

how could "Soviets" possibly suppress a language that has been extict for several centuries before "Soviets" even came to be? any sources for that statement? and if one does indeed exist then surely the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudovian_language should be edited accordingly?

I've edited the article to remove this crap. There were no sources despite supposedly having "scores of Samizdat covering this issue". Sudovian likely went extinct during the 17th century.
