West Polesian (захыднёполіськая мова, zakhydnyopolis'kaya mova, полісьська волода, polis's'ka voloda) is the East Slavic dialect group (or variety) spoken in southwestern Belarus, in northwestern Ukraine and adjoining regions of Poland. There is controversy regarding whether West Polesian belongs to Belarusian or Ukrainian, or is a separate microlanguage (as has been proposed by linguist Aleksandr Dulichenko).
