Talk:стяг

According to Vasmer Old Russian стѧгъ is attested (Лаврентьевск. летоп. под 1096 г., СПИ и др.; Срезн. III, 590). Why the asterisk? --Vahagn Petrosyan 17:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That was the reason (one of the reasons, the accent being another one - thanks for fixing) why I inserted the template attention. I do not understand anything in Old Russian, so if you are sure that some word in it is attested, feel free henceforth to set it to rights.

 * Vahagn, can we change the terminology Old East Slavic to Old Russian? The other languages considered today to be South Slavic, descend from the Old Russian of Слово о полку Игореве and there is no Old Belarussian (first text in Belorussian being Skorina's translation) nor Old Ukrainian, am I right? Where can I initiate a discussion on replacing Old East Slavic with Old Russian? See here - one explains that both Ukrainian and Belorussian descend from a West Russian language, which in turn descends from Old Russian, so all three East Slavic languages descend from Old Russian.

 * Yes, all three East Slavic languages descend from a single source. The question is how to call this source: Russians prefer Old Russian (acceptable), Ukrainians call it Old Ukrainian (nonsensical), Belarussians call it Old Belarussian (even more nonsensical): see the Wikipedia article. We could of course rename to Old Russian but I guarantee you sooner or later an Ukrainian/Belarussian nationalist will pop up and stir up problems. Let us keep the politically-correct name chosen by ISO, which is Old East Slavic and is acceptable to everyone. --Vahagn Petrosyan 20:14, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

The word "стяг" originates from russian poetic "стяг", which is currently subsitute for "флаг". In belarusian "сцяг" is used. However I found three references: At the same time this word is not present in any dictionary. So I think that this word doesn't meet the attestation criteria. --Jarash (talk) 12:37, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

 * You're right. The term shouldn't be included as Belarusian. The citations 2 and 3 have other misspellings - індустрыялізацы (індустрыялізацыі) and галвою (галавою). BTW, "Russian" and "Belarusian" should be capitalised. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 12:54, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
