[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - migration to use belarusian as default language in Belarus for tagging

[Paveł Tyślacki]

Belarusian OR russian should be used as government languages, new created
toponims used belarusian and then transliterated to russian or other
languages.

There are few additionals:

On plates for towns and villages commonly used belarusian, on plates for
river and lakes commonly used belarusian, more difficult question for
street plates and public transport, but in Minsk (capital of Belarus) for
streets and public transport commonly used belarusian.
