В XIII-XVIII веках страна была частью Великого княжества Литовского (позже Речи Посполитой), где официальным языком был старобелорусский. Затем эта территория вошла в состав Российской империи, после чего была разделена (1921-1939 гг.) между Польшей и СССР.

В 1945 году вновь объединенная территория (за исключением Белостокской области) стала Белорусской Советской Социалистической Республикой.
