History of Polish
Polish developed from Proto-Slavic and first appeared in writing in the 10th century. Latin script was adopted early due to Western Catholic influence. Despite partitions that erased Poland from the map for 123 years, the language survived as a symbol of national identity. Polish has a rich literary tradition including Nobel laureates.
Is Polish Hard to Learn?
Polish has seven grammatical cases, three genders, and consonant clusters that challenge English speakers. However, pronunciation follows consistent rules, and using the Latin alphabet is an advantage over Cyrillic-script Slavic languages.
