'''Poleshuks''' ([[West Polesian dialect|Polesian]]: Полешуки, {{lang-ua|Поліщуки}}, ''Poliščuki (Polishchuki)''; {{lang-be |Паляшукі}}, ''Paliašuki''; {{lang-ru |Полещуки}}, ''Poleshchuki''; {{lang-pl|Poleszucy}}) is the name given to the people who populated the swamps of [[Polesia]] (Polesie). The Polishchuk dialect is close to the [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]], [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] and [[Polish language|Polish]] languages; it maintains many local peculiarities of other languages and dialects of the area.<ref name="www.andrzejb.com">[https://web.archive.org/web/20070622165057/http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/agbdesign/slavic/ The Slavic Ethnogenesis] ''Citation:'' J.

==History== |

[[Image:Polesia map - topography.jpg|thumb|left|Polesia (dark green), current borders]] |
|||
During and after the [[World War II]], the Polishchuks along with Belarusian people developed a strong sense of identity and currently the Polishchuk group is one of the distinct cultural and ethnic parts of [[Belarus]], while most of the population of the Polish and Ukrainian parts of the region of [[Polesie]] have assimilated with the respective nations. At the end of the 1980s, there was a minor campaign in [[Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic|Soviet Byelorussia]] for the creation of a separate "[[Polesian language]]" based on the dialects of Polesia launched by [[Byelorussia]]n [[philologist]] [[Nikolai Shelyagovich]] and his associates. However, they received almost no support and the campaign eventually melted away. |
