# Lyelchytsy

A settlement in Belarus; local name Лельчыцы.

## English name

**Lyelchytsy** — Conventional Belarusian-based English form using the BGN/PCGN Belarusian system (1979); local and scholarly spellings are given separately.

Other forms in use:

- **Lelchytsy** — Belarusian-based spelling without the initial palatalizing y; used in local English web addresses and name indexes.
- **Lelchitsy** — Russian-based English form, from Лельчицы.
- **Lieĺčycy** — Belarusian national geographical romanization (2007), recommended by the UN in 2012; not a claim about the replacement domestic rules of 2023.
- **Lelczyce** — Polish historical name used in English historical and genealogical references to this place.
- **Leltchytsy** — French-language form, useful when an English text quotes a French map, report or source title; not the English main name.
- **Лельчыцы** — Original Belarusian spelling, retained for matching local sources cited in English.

## French name

**Leltchytsy** — Attested French reference spelling; tch renders ч; the y endings follow Belarusian rather than Russian.

Other forms in use:

- **Leltchitsy** — Russian-based French form explicitly given alongside Leltchytsy in the French reference entry.
- **Lelčycy** — Traditional Belarusian Latin form quoted in the French reference entry; distinct from the 2007 geographical system.
- **Lelczyce** — Polish historical form quoted in French reference material.
- **Lyelchytsy** — International English spelling for matching sources cited in French.
- **Lelcycy** — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Lelčycy for French retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.

## About

Lyelchytsy is a small town on the Ubort in the Polesia region of southern Belarus. It is a district centre in Gomel Region, close to the Ukrainian border.

## Notes

Local name corrected from the input’s Ukrainian exonym to Belarusian Лельчыцы. French Leltchytsy is separately attested; do not copy the English BGN/PCGN spelling into French by default. Belarusian 2007 geographical forms are dated historical standards; no implementation of the replacement domestic instruction of 2023 is claimed.
