I am writing this page because I came across this page and strongly disliked certain aspects of what I saw (although I liked most of it). The reason I disliked it was because BalkanFever is more familiar with Macedonian than he is with Russian and Polish is genetically much closer to Russian than to Macedonian (which explains why I understand Polish better than I do Macedonian). Another reason is that I completely disagree with the saying, "Write as you speak and speak as is written," and therefore do not like the one-to-one phoneme-grapheme relationship. I have therefore decided to modify BalkanFever's version to make my own version which I think would have been closer to what Polish would actually look like had the majority of Poland been Orthodox rather than Catholic.

Notes edit
- If the c or dz was historically an affricate, it would be represented by ц and ѕ. However, if the sound was historically a plosive that went through affrication, it would be represented by д or т.
- Rules for palatalization of consonants are much the same as in Russian orthography.
- The sound /i/ is represented by і when it comes after a consonant or when it represents Greek iota in a Greek loanword. In other locations or when representing Greek eta, и is used.
- Where in standard Polish orthography a j follows a non-palatalized consonant, the letter ъ should be placed between the consonant and the /j/ sound. In the case of a palatalized consonant, ь should be used instead. The letters ъ and ь should be thought of as silent vowels in these situations. The letter ъ should also be used at the end of words and prefixes that end in an non-palatalized consonant.
- Diacritical marks are always optional. They are discouraged except to clarify ambiguity in which case they are preferable.
- The letters ё and е́ are used only when the sound was historically /jɛ/ or /ʲɛ/ or from French eu, German ö, or the sound /ø ~ œ ~ ɜ/ from any other language. Otherwise йо or йо́ is used (ьо or ьо́ after consonants). The letter ю would be used rather than е́, йо́, or ьо́ if the sound is unrelated to the standard Polish letter ó.
- The sounds /lʲ/, /ɫ/, and /rʲ/ are obsolete standard Polish and are included merely to explain the Cyrillic letter chosen to represent it.

So help me God! |
