* ''Simple'' ({{lang|be|простая (мова)}}) or ''[[Tutejszy|local]]'' ({{lang|be|тутэйшая (мова)}}) – used mainly in times preceding the common recognition of the existence of the Belarusian language, and nation in general. Supposedly, the term can still be encountered up to the end of the 1930s, e.g., in [[Western Belorussia|Western Belarus]]. It is widely used to this day in [[Pomerania]] in reference to the mixed Polish-Belarusian dialects spoken there.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}
