I think it is a bad idea to use years, since clearly people use the terms
"akademic" and "taraskievica" as broad contrastive groupings, and
withineach of those there may be distinct variants where it would make
sense to
have years attached.
If later on someone really thinks that it is necessary to separate those
subvariants, that can always be done. See
http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry where we have such
fine distinctions as:
