## French name

**Kamieniets** — French reference heading prefers Kamieniets; Kamianiets and Russian-based Kamenets coexist. French Wikidata instead labels the place Kamianets, so French usage is inconsistent.

Other forms in use:

- **Kamianiets** — Alternative Belarusian-based French name explicitly given alongside Kamieniets.
- **Kamenets** — Russian-based French name explicitly quoted in references.
- **Kamieniec** — Polish name explicitly quoted in French references.
- **Kamianets** — Form indexed as the French Wikidata label; French reference heading uses Kamieniets instead.
- **Kamyenyets** — International spelling retained for French source matching; French reference usage also has the adapted main form above.

## About

Kamyenyets is a town on the Lyasnaya River in western Belarus. It is known for its medieval brick tower, a rare surviving defensive monument of its kind in the region.

## Notes

Belarusian source spellings Каменец and Камянец coexist. English main follows conventional Kamyenyets; French reference heading Kamieniets differs from the French Wikidata label Kamianets. The tower is a landmark, not a separate synonym for the town. The national 2007/UN 2012 romanization is dated; Belarus changed its domestic rules in 2023.
