I've made a description of Belarusian dialect features. This includes a map of the geographic distribution of dialects, a table of the a dataset of 1027 villages and their individual features, and a table of the characteristics of each dialect.

I've uploaded the rest of the transcriptions to the Culture section, and added translations for them.  There are some pretty interesting ones, so check it out!

I'm back to school, um, hurray? and I've finally got internet again.  I've typed up a bunch of the transcriptions that I was given by Prof. Rusak and uploaded them to the Culture section.  I'm sure it's full of mistakes, but they are interesting accounts.

Well, it's been a long time since anyone's sent me an email here.  Anyways, over the course of the summer, I've got the concordance filled out and uploaded, but it's still pretty raw.  I've also finished converting FofMB to HTML format, so now it really is open.
Anyways, today on the advice of a friend, I took a look at something called "belazar" but I have to say I'm a little sceptical of how its going to turn out.  Written for Windows X86, not GPL'd, and expecting a lot of contribution from the community...   Well, if it were GPL'd I sure would feel a lot better about it.  It actually has me thinking about how I would attack the problem...  am i challenging myself?  FofMB itself still isn't quite wrapped up, though it's close.

Special thanks to Rydel from pravapis.org for his help with FofMB.  Another list of corrections to improve the work.

Special thanks to Kern Lunde for the many corrections he sent me. I have updated FofMB with corrections to those typos and errors he pointed out.
