1925, Jazep Losik, Беларускі правапіс , Менск: Беларускае Дзяржаўнае Выдавецтва, page 22:Такія словы, як не, без, це́раз, пе́рад ня ма́юць свайго́ на́ціску; яны́ стано́вяць як-бы ча́стку таго́ сло́ва, пе́рад като́рым стая́ць. Дзе́ля гэ́тага ча́сам пі́шацца не, без, а ча́сам — ня, бяз у зале́жнасьці ад таго́, у като́рым скла́дзе пе́рад на́ціскам яны́ ста́нуць: не магу́, не хачу́, не знашо́ў; ня бу́ду, ня ве́даю, ня шуміць; без вады́, бяз хле́ба.- Takija slóvy, jak nje, bjez, cjéraz, pjérad nja májucʹ svajhó nácisku; janý stanóvjacʹ jak-by částku tahó slóva, pjérad katórym stajácʹ. Dzjélja hétaha čásam píšacca nje, bjez, a čásam — nja, bjaz u zaljéžnasʹci ad tahó, u katórym skládzje pjérad náciskam janý stánucʹ: nje mahú, nje xačú, nje znašóŭ; nja búdu, nja vjédaju, nja šumicʹ; bjez vadý, bjaz xljéba.
- The words, such as не, без, це́раз, пе́рад don't have their own stress; they behave as if they were a part of the next word. As a result, sometimes they are written as не, без and sometimes as ня, бяз, depending on where they stand relative to the stress position: не магу́, не хачу́, не знашо́ў; ня бу́ду, ня ве́даю, ня шуміць; без вады́, бяз хле́ба.
Usage notes
The pronunciation of the word "не" changes to "ня" if it's immediately and without any pause followed by a stressed syllable, even if that syllable belongs to the adjacent next word. The Taraškievica orthography also reflects this in spelling. The standard official Narkamaŭka orthography isn't fully phonetically accurate and always uses "не" in spelling for morphological reasons.
