Polish Language

Polish is the most widely spoken West Slavic language with 38 million people in Poland speaking it every day.  There exists some dialectal variation across Polish speaking communities in the country, though they are all mutually intelligible and are less obvious to non-native speakers than, say, the different dialects of English.

The Polish alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet as, unlike most Slavic language countries, Poland decided not to adopt the Czech orthography and instead adapted one of their own using diacritics. 

The Polish alphabet does not use the letters Q (ku), V (fau) and X (iks), though they are used in some commercial names and foreign words. In Polish pronunciation there is no need for them and as a result are replaced with K, W and KS/GZ respectively.

Unlike English, Polish is a highly inflected language, retaining as it does the Old Slavic case system . There are seven cases for nouns, pronouns, and adjectives: Nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, locative and vocative! There are two number classes, singular and plural, as in English.

Every language has a different attitude when it comes to loan words from foreign languages. Some are happy to add to their own lexicons freely, whilst others are less hasty; sometimes rejecting new words all together or aligning them with native spellings, which is just what Poles do.

Depending on the period, many languages have had an influence on the Polish vocabulary.  Some words are introduced and seen as fashionable, often these are slang words, but most of the time these words go out of fashion and disappear within a couple of years.

The most notable languages to augment the Polish lexicon are Latin (9th-18th century), Czech (10th and 14th-15th century), Italian (15th-16th century), French (18th-19th century), German (13-15th and 18th-20th century), Hungarian (14th-16th century), Turkish (17th century), Old Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Russian.
