Narkamaŭka
Narkamaŭka (Belarusian: наркамаўка, narkamaŭka, [nɐrˈkamɐukə] or Belarusian: наркомаўка, narkomaŭka, [nɐrˈkomɐukə]) is a colloquial name for the reformed Belarusian orthography. Evolved from the Belarusian narkam (наркам), abbreviated early Soviet name for a minister, narodny kamisar (народны камісар) in Belarusian. Narkamaŭka is a simplified version of the Belarusian language's orthography, with some scholars claiming that it turned out the language to become closer to Russian during Soviet era in Belarus.[1]
The name was coined around the end of the 1980s or the beginning of the 1990s by the Belarusian linguist Vincuk Viačorka.[2]
