Lithuanians in Belarus (Lithuanian: Baltarusijos lietuviai; Belarusian: Беларускія літоўцы, romanized: Bielaruskija litoŭcy; Russian: Белорусские литовцы, romanized: Belorusskiye litovtsy) have a long history, as Belarus was part of Lithuania for more than half a millenium from the 13th century onwards. The land of what is now Belarus was originally inhabited by Balts, while Slavs arrived to those lands during the late Early Middle Ages.
