A language is a dialect that has an army and a navy. -Max Weinreich,
linguist and author (1894-1969)

that's what is wrong with Belorusian: we don't have a navy! Dnepr flotilla doesn't count!

I am quite sure that Canada doesn't really have a navy either! We have an Armed Forces that has some ships...but no navy per se. We also have the whole 2 official languages issue. Oh yes...we have some antique helicopters too!!
