Gredele [ɡrɛˈdɛlɛ] (Belarusian: Γpэдэлi, Hredeli) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Orla, within Bielsk County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in eastern Poland.[1]

It is in one of five Polish/Belarusian bilingual Gmina in Podlaskie Voivodeship regulated by the Act of 6 January 2005 on National and Ethnic Minorities and on the Regional Languages, which permits certain gminas with significant linguistic minorities to introduce a second, auxiliary language to be used in official contexts alongside Polish.[2]

History

Three Polish citizens were murdered by Nazi Germany in the village during World War II.[3]
