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)
