There are many disturbing opposing votes claiming Belarusian language to 
be language of minority,  in many places not present on the ground, and 
Russian language to be widely used and known.
According to Wikipedia, 30% of Belarusian can write Belarusian, 50% can 
speak and read.

How can 70% of the population actively contribute to OSM if they cannot 
write the most frequently displayed text tag (name) in Belarusian?
