Belorussian (very similar to Russian; in a crude way, it looks and sounds like Russian with a lot -dz- and -h- sounds where you'd expect -d- and -g- with the nice touch of spelling being a closer representation of current pronunciation)

Actually unlike Polish, dz is simply a soft d, not a voiced c.
And the voiced h is of course an allophone of g in Russian, so yeah tbh this description is really strange to me as a native speaker of Russian and heritage learner of Belarusian.

But of course I agree that Belarusian is cool. I personally found it too similar before I started learning Polish, though.
