- Frantsishak Skaryna Belarusian Language Society
Frantsishak Skaryna Belarusian Language Society ( _be. Таварыства беларускай мовы імя Францішка Скарыны, TBM) is an organization located in Belarus. The organization's main activity is promotion and development of the Belarusian language.
The TBM was founded by a group of Belarusian intellectuals in 1989, since then it became famous as the main defender of the rights of Belarusian speakers in Belarus.
TBM has organized numerous campaigns of promotion of the Belarusian language, such as demands of introduction of Belarusian notifications in the public transport, description of goods in Belarusian on labels, promotion of primary and higher education in Belarusian language.
Although the organization opposes the official russification policy of Alexander Lukashenko's regime and many notable opposition leaders and activists are members of the TBM, it stays away from politics and stays firmly within its declared goals.
Current head of the Belarusian Language Society is Aleh Trusau.
