Language

The official language in Poland is Polish. Around 38 million people in the area speak this language (Census 2002). The Polish language is the second most spoken Slavic language after Russia. It is the main representative of the Lechitic branch of the West Slavic languages. The Polish language originated in the areas of present-day Poland from several local Western Slavic dialects, most notably those spoken in Greater Poland and Lesser Poland. It shares some vocabulary with the languages of the neighboring Slavic nations, most notably with Slovak, Czech, Ukrainian, and Belarusian.

An Example of how to say some phrases in Poland.

Polish is a very difficult language to practice. When a non-Polish person attempts to speak the language, they will have them sound like they are whispering, gargling and choking simultaneously. Many of the young children learn a bit of English, but they still need to learn the tongue-twisting native language.
