Pawlinowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Orla, within Bielsk County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 13km (08miles) south-west of Orla, 170NaN0 south of Bielsk Podlaski, and 560NaN0 south of the regional capital Białystok.

According to the 1921 census, the village was inhabited by 53 people, among whom 3 were Roman Catholic, 44 Orthodox, and 6 Mosaic. At the same time, 16 inhabitants declared Polish nationality, 27 Belarusian, 6 Jewish and 4 different. There were 11 residential buildings in the village.[2]

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.[3]
