The Belarusian language is rather dead.
Edit: Just to clarify. I’m speaking Belarusian myself. So I’m speaking from my experience in Belarus. In Belarus, the Belarusian is hardly spoken. If the language is not used, it’s mostly dead, unfortunately.
Intresting that the most Polish parts of Belarus generally speak the most Belarussian
I live in Minsk and know many people who speak Belarusian in everyday life, especially since February 24, 2022
Map seems to be random. because in villages it is spoken more evenly across the contry, no such “west vs east” as in that strange map.
Look at this 1897 census (part 4 is belarusian)

Also belarus was “cut” (vs declared territories/lang territories) more from the right (russian) side.

P.S. also that bloger seems like a “latent” russian (or ethnic russian from ru family living now here, don’t know)
It is very evident that Belarusian has survived on land that belonged to Poland before 17 September 1939. This means that Sovietisation was most resisted there and the Polish authorities did not discriminate against people for speaking Belarusian. It is similar in Ukraine
Lukashenko hated Belarusian so much that he taught that it is a worthless language of s*it and everyone must speak Russian and English instead.
