## About

Salihorsk is an industrial city in Minsk Region, south of Slutsk. It developed around the extraction and processing of potash, with a reservoir on the Sluch River nearby.

## Notes

Salihorsk is also the 2007 Belarusian national/UN 2012 spelling and the BGN/PCGN 1979 spelling. The Ukrainian input form was not treated as the local name. Formal table-derived aliases are labelled separately from attested prose spellings. Coverage of romanization systems and historical aliases is not exhaustive.
