📖 HERA Atlas 📕 HG Book 📊 HG Data
📋 Most recent national census: 2019. Not yet carried in HERA — Belarus has held a national census; HERA simply doesn't carry it on this page yet (the source may be access-restricted, PDF-only, or not yet ingested). Its absence here does not mean no census was taken.
🗺 HERA does carry a modeled subnational estimate for Belarus: BLR-LANDSCAN (2024) — 7 subnational units across admin_1 (7). Modeled, not enumerated — it is an estimate built on census inputs, not the published tabulation.

Toponymic Footprint 99,047 place names from NGA GNS

Which languages name the landscape here, and in which writing systems. A language's toponymic footprint and its speaker population are different measures and often diverge. Counts include variant and foreign-language renderings of the same place, so a language can rank high because outside sources record names in it rather than because it is spoken locally — and a widely spoken language can be almost absent where official naming is in another language.

* Shares are of the 72,692 names that carry a language code; the remaining 26,355 of 99,047 are unattributed, so these percentages do not divide into the headline count. Names follow the US/BGN convention.
