Polish alphabet information


The Polish alphabet. Grey indicates letters not used in native words.

The Polish alphabet (Polish: alfabet polski, abecadło) is the script of the Polish language, the basis for the Polish system of orthography. It is based on the Latin alphabet but includes certain letters with diacritics: the acute accent (kreska; ⟨ć, ń, ó, ś, ź⟩); the overdot (kropka; ⟨ż⟩); the tail or ogonek (⟨ą, ę⟩); and the stroke (⟨ł⟩). ⟨q⟩, ⟨v⟩, and ⟨x⟩, which are used only in foreign words, are usually absent from the Polish alphabet. However, prior to the standardization of Polish spelling, ⟨x⟩ was sometimes used in place of ⟨ks⟩.[1]

Modified variations of the Polish alphabet are used for writing Silesian and Kashubian, whereas the Sorbian languages use a mixture of Polish and Czech orthography.
