Current version of this article blocked because of Zivinbudas has the ethymology slightly flawed. It states that Some derive it from the word les, las, i.e., "forest" in Slavic languages, i.e., it is area near forest or area of forests, and in this sense Podlasie is synonymous with the adjacent Polesie.. Literally, the name means under the forest, which could be roughly translated to Latin terms as Cissilvania, while Polesie means literally to the other side of the forest and has a similar root as Transylvania. Of course the forest in question was the huge forest stretching from the Baltic Sea to Volhynia (N-S axis) and from Masovia to Polesie (W-E), parts of which remain a huge forest to this day ( Puszcza Bialowieska for instance).

..................... Sorry for my being amateurish. Talking about ethnics groups, it should be mentioned the Tatars of muslim faith, still living in some of the willages. Descendands of the polish Tatars "Lipek"s, who get right to live there as instead of their military payment, in late 1670-ties. I was 15 minutes ago on the site from the county Sokólka, so now I know. :) /SZ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.181.181.54 ( talk) 22:20, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Drohiczyn, Sokołów Podlaski and Węgrów are important historical cities of Podlasie too Zofey 06:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
There is a discussion about the proper name for the associated province, or Voivodeship. According to the consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Geography of Poland, it has been determined that an English/Latinized name should be used, but there is disagreement on just what exactly that is. For example, "Podlachian Voivodeship", "Polesian Voivodeship", "Podlasie Voivodeship", etc. Any editors who have an opinion, are invited to participate in the renaming discussion which is currently at Talk:Podlachian Voivodeship. -- Elonka 17:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I have removed this sentence as it is not correct:
"In 1947 the Ukrainian population of Podlachia was violently deportated in other regions of Poland in Operation Wisła, finishing the polonization of this historically Ukrainian region."
1. The Ruthenian population has never been deported (only some people considered by communist authorities were as Ukrainian activists were). 2. Podlachia is not a historically Ukrainian region, even if was populated by Ukrainian speaking population. Yeti 01:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
To user: Vervin Podlachia is the only traditionally Ukrainian speaking area of present day Poland where the local population has not been removed in 1944-1947. Please, feel free to make a visit there to check personally. In contrary to neighboring Chelm region only a small number of people regarded as Ukrainian activists were resettled (including one person from my family). The reason was that at that time the local population in majority did not consider themselves Ukrainians and were Roman Catholics (even if they still used Ukrainian dialect as a vernacular language). So, please stop reverting, as this is ridiculous. Regards. Yeti 13:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
There are a slew of Ukrainian names given; I added the one that seems to be actually used in Ukraine at this time, Підляшшя. Do we really need all the others? lubap
Google Book search results:
Commentary on names: Podlachia is the name of the region in Latin. Podlesie seems like a weird typo or rare variant that probably shouldn't be in lead. Podlasie is the name of the region in Polish. Podlaskie refers to the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
Based on the above, I'd recommend moving the article to Podlasie. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 01:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page not moved: no concensus after 43 days. Anthony Appleyard ( talk) 08:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Podlachia → Podlasie — Per my analysis in the preceding section, it appears that Podlasie is much more commonly used in English than Latin Podlachia. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:37, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Do not change. Do not use this name, Podlasie because this region in in Belarus also in the area of Pinsk not only Poland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.103.182.21 ( talk) 17:10, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I am sorry, but the paragraph about Muslim population should be removed. Both Bohoniki and Kruszyniany lie decidedly outside the borders of Podlasie. This is nowadays Podlaskie Voivodeship, but historically it was a part of Lithuania (Trakai Voivodeship). We may mention it in the article about contemporary administrative unit, but not here.
