Marchant Chris. Fundamentals of Modern Belarusian

This book was written with the assumption that the reader is already moderately familiar with either Russian or Ukrainian. Little explanation is given of noun gender and cases, or verb aspect and tenses. The reader should consult either a Russian or Ukrainian grammar for more details on these principles. In this book are described those parts of Belarusian grammar that differ from Russian or Ukrainian. There is great variation in the Belarusian language from region to region, and any attempt to make an authoritative description of the Belarusian language will be plagued by this fact. The author strived to make this work as consistent as possible with the standard Belarusian used in most literature. To this end, he has set forth the most common declensions, conjugations, and vocabulary.
