The graphic system

Variations discussed here are recorded using the Cyrillic alphabet based on the standard spelling of Belarusian or Ukrainian.  The magazine Bielski Hostineć (Бельскі гостінэць) is used based on the Cyrillic alphabet, which uses designations present in the Podlasie pronunciation of diphthongs (vowels with variable course of articulation, such as [e]), as well as the letter . Graf is also used in the Cyrillic alphabet for the system proposed by Mykola Szylahowicz (Duliczenko 2002: 584Duliczenko 2002 / komentarz/comment/r /

). In 1988, J. Hawryluk, a Ukrainian poet of Podlasie, published his proposal for the spelling of the dialects of Podlasie, based on the Cyrillic alphabet (Hawryluk 1988Hawryluk 1988 / komentarz/comment /

).

In some publications, the Latin alphabet is used in a variant similar to Polish. The Svoja.org site in particular uses it, and it is also used in publications when the language is specially designed ‘Podlaski’.

Dialects of Southern Podlasie usually do not have a uniform recording system and those that are used are based on Polish.
There are texts in a variety of these varieties (in varying degrees, close to the Polish and Belarusian) recorded using the Arabic script.  They were created from the seventeenth to the twentieth century (Antonowicz 1968: 290Antonowicz 1968 / komentarz/comment/r /

Text notations in many varieties uses primarily the notations of linguistics (phonetic, phonemic), mostly from the Slavic tradition.
