Talk:Trasianka

Patois?
Would this classify as a patois? I just wonder, since it seems that Russian and Belarussian are quite similar, closely related languages, and that this language would have more in common with for instance Portuñol, than a traditional Creole or Patois...


 * I have read the text on patois here in Wikipedia and think trasianka can be considered patois. However, Belarusian linguists do not use this description for trasianka, neither any linguist I've read or heard (but my experience is limited of course). Marian.

Trasianka
i'd like to learn more about trasianka. i've started doing research on the slavs and the slavic languages. i'm hoping this will help me do research on the aleuts and the aleut language. (it's a long story...)

Current status
We need more information on this language. Does it have native speakers (i.e. children who grew up speaking it)? Or is it confined to one generation of grown-ups, and likely to disappear in the near future? BTW, just because Belarusians have prejudice against the word "creole" is no reason to avoid classifying it so, if it meets the requirements. All the best, Jorge Stolfi 18:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

No, it does not meet the criteria for classifying it as "creole". You have misuunderstood what's written there in the first part of the article -- Marian Sloboda

Imprecise and over-generalized formulation removed
Cesarion, apologies for removing the text you added, but it was not only Russian that was considered civilised - there was Polish as well on the territory of present Belarus. Second, your statement that Russianized "mother tongue" was considered better is over-generalized - by WHOM and WHEN? Third, this is not connected that much to trasianka, the significance of spread of which is reported for the SECOND half of the 20th century (this being connected to the official policy of language cultivation in the context of harmonious "Russian-national" bilingualism development; migrations from rural areas to urban places; and some other, lesser, factors). Until 1980s, trasianka was referred to as "mixed Belarusian-Russian speech" (zmeshanaye belaruska-ruskaje maulennie) and the like. This article, as I take it, is about "trasianka". - Best, Marian.

Lukashenka speaks Trasianka?
Does Lukashenka really speaks Trasianka? I've always thought he spoke Russian? Marxolang (talk) 15:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Lukashenka speaks Russian with thick Belarusian accent, with significant phonetical changes, which is often derided and some pearls deserve the writing of the article Lukashisms (unfortunately not much RS). The most popular one is when Lukashenko promised 'peretrahivat' the parliament. The correct Russian pronunciation is 'peretryahivat' and means " to shake over" in the meaning "to weed"/"to dust off", while from his mouth came the word meaning "to fuck them all in turn regularly".

Example
Translation of part of the 1977 Soviet Constitution into Trasianka and Belarusian language.

Why shouldn't we add it to the main article? --Czalex 21:57, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Slur?
Is that even noteworthy name to have in Wikipedia? After reading, it seems it's just a recent nationalistic slur of anti-Russian publicist. The other name mentioned in text (meshanka, "mixture") seems a lot more appropriate seeing it's used by the concerned population not bitter emigrant.

Dubious WP:RS Вахтин
The reference to Вахтин, Николай; in not a reliable source. The sub-website is described as "project" and its pages contain discaimer that it it unfinished and accuracy not guaranteed: "Приносим извинения: данный текст может содержать неточности и находится в процессе редактирования." . I am going to move this link to "external links" as a supplementary reading, rather than encyclopedic source. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:36, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
