LANGUAGE SIMP Language Review: POLISH | Metatron Reacts

Link to the original video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIeSTf7G0Vg Polish (Polski) is a West Slavic language from the Indo-European family, spoken by approximately 40-45 million people worldwide, primarily in Poland. It belongs to the Lechitic subgroup and shares similarities with Czech, Slovak, and Sorbian languages. Polish uses the Latin alphabet enhanced with diacritical marks, creating a 32-letter system with unique characters like ą, ę, ć, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, and ż. The language features complex consonant clusters, seven grammatical cases, three genders, no articles, and relatively free word order. Its stress pattern typically falls on the penultimate syllable. Polish phonology includes distinctive nasal vowels and palatalized consonants. The earliest written Polish records date to the 12th century, with standardization occurring during the Renaissance. Throughout its development, Polish has been influenced by Latin, Czech, German, French, and more recently, English. Regional variations include Greater Polish, Lesser Polish, Silesian, Masovian, and Kashubian dialects, though some linguists consider Kashubian a separate language. #polish #languages #linguistics
