Short description: Term for a reformed version of Belarusian grammar

Narkamaŭka (Belarusian: наркамаўка, narkamaŭka, [nɐrˈkamɐukə] or Belarusian: наркомаўка, narkomaŭka, [nɐrˈkomɐukə]) is a colloquial name for the reformed Belarusian orthography. Evolved from the Belarusian narkam (наркам), abbreviated early Soviet name for the ministry, narodny kamisar (народны камісар). Narkamaŭka is the simplified version of the Belarusian language's orthography, with some scholars claiming that it turned out the language to become closer to Russian during Soviet era in Belarus .[1]

The name was coined around the end of the 1980s or the beginning of the 1990s by the Belarusian linguist Vincuk Viačorka.[2]
