LANGUAGE SUBTAG REGISTRATION FORM
1. Name of requester:

Ihar Mahaniok,
Mark Davis

2. E-mail address of requester:

mahaniok at google.com
markdavis at google.com

3. Record Requested:

Type: variant
Subtag: 1959acad
Description: "Academic" ("governmental") variant of Belarusian as
  codified in 1959
Prefix: be

4. Intended meaning of the subtag:

To distinguish the "academic" (or "governmental") variant from the
other forms of "be" (Belarusian). Currently, that is not possible to
do, since "be" includes all varieties of Belarusian, including tarask
("classical"). The formal description of this orthography is commonly
understood by users of the orthography as having been specified in
1959; the subtag covers at least the 1959, 1985, 2007 academic
editions of the literary norm codification
specifying the orthography. This orthography is sometimes known
pejoratively as "narkamauka".

6. Any other relevant information:

In the modern Belarusian language there are two literary norms (cf.
[Compendium 2003], [Klimaw 2004]).

The "academic" (normative, literary) form, existing in a relatively
unchanged form for 75 years, is taught in the state school educational
system. This norm is used for the official and state uses of
Belarusian language. It is defined by an Institute of Linguistics of
Academy of Sciences of Belarus.

Another literary norm is the "Tarashkevitsa" (also referred to as a
"classical") form, and has a registered variant in the language subtag
registry already.

The differences are mainly in the orthography, but also in morphology,
syntax, vocabulary (cf. [Klimaw 2004], [Potekhina 2003], [Padluzhny
1999]).
