Пытанне / Question Polish - Belarussian culture. Language similarities.

18 Upvotes

Hello friends! I had the pleasure of meeting many of citizens of Belarus (and Ukraine - that will be relevant in a second) in one of the big Polish cities, we have a beatiful integrated society there.

One of the tropes I heard repeatedly was that Belarusian language is supposedly more similar to Polish than Ukrainian, for example. Going further - someone mentioned the Belarusian is "the closest one" to Polish.

Is there someone who could elaborate on that? How does it look from the Belarusian side of view? I would gladly accept examples with words, pronounciations, accents, and - if someone is patient enough to elaborate - a wider context. :)

I need to send money over to someone in Belarus, wondering if anyone knows of any apps that can do that? They aren't listed for international transfer with my current bank. Looking for non-crypto options specifically.
