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.
