Talk:Polish orthography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please can someone provide me urgently with some information about the historical development of this alphabet. When, and by whom was it standardised, or was this a gradual process over many centuries? Mattwhiteski 15:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
It wasn't standartised. It's created by the way of natural evolution, and officialised by Rada Języka Polskiego.
[edit] Pronunciation of words with i
How does one pronounce pies? /pʲɛs/, /pʲi̯ɛs/ or /pi̯ɛs/? Two issues: Does the i palatalize the /p/? If so, does the i disappear from pronunciation as in dnia or does one hear it? --Iopq 10:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
[pʲes] - i is used only to palatalize p and [ε] becomes [e] after a palatalized consonant.
- Thanks. -Iopq 10:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Wait, what about wiem? Doesn't that get pronounced /vʲi̯ɛm/? In that case, how can you tell? Is it dependent on which consonant or is it just just arbitrary and has to be memorized? -Iopq 15:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
