I. LANGUAGE
1. General Characteristics
The official language of Poland is Polish. It is spoken by themajority of inhabitants ofPoland (Poland had 38.7 million inhabitantsin 1997 - after the 'Rocznik statystyczny 1998' - '1998 StatisticalYearbook').
Historically, Polish belongs to the Slavic group of the IndoEuropean languages. Typologically, Polish is an inflected languagewith three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) and two numbers(singular and plural). In both number nomina have seven grammaticalcases. Within the nomina group nouns and adjectives are particularlyimportant for geographical and place names. Formants are used tocreate adjectives from nouns in Polish.
There are two types of sounds in the Polish phonologicalsystem: vowels (oral and nasal; front and back; high, mid, low) andconsonants (hard and palatal; voiced and voiceless; sonants and
obstruents. Three consonant series: A-[s, z, (s, dz], B-[f, 3, if, dS],
and C-[~, ;, (~, J~] are characteristic of the Polish language.Consonants are used in Polish words much more often than
vowels. Also, there are quite many consonant groups. The stress inPolish usually falls on the penultimate syllable.
Literary Polish has a several hundred-year tradition. Its rules arecodified in dictionaries and grammar books. The rules of spelling andpronunciation are also established. Regional dialects of Polish are notusually reflected in geographical names, which are most often used instandardized literary forms.
Ethnic minorities in Poland do not exceed 2% of the totalpopulation. Germans live in southwestern and northeastern parts ofPoland. Slovaks live in southern part, and Ukrainians, Belorussians,Lithuanians and Russians along the eastern border. Their languages,
7
as well as the languages of other dispersed ethnic minontles(Romanies, Tartars, Armenians, Greeks, Czechs, and French), as wellas the languages of ethnic groups (Kashubians, Lemkos) are not usedas official languages. Some of the minorities have their ownorganizations, schools, theaters and similar establishments in whichthey use their national languages. The 'Ustawa 0 urz~dowych
nazwach miejscowosci i obiekt6w fizjograficznych' (Act on OfficialPlace Names and Names ofPhysiographic Objects) which is currentlybeing legislated provides that an additional official name in thelanguage of an ethnic minority can be established.
2. Polish Literary Language
The Polish Alphabet
Poles use Latin alphabet, to which a number of diacritical markswere added. Also, the letters q, v, x were omitted (they are used onlyin words of foreign origin). In international publications the APIPhonetic Alphabet is used as a rule. The Slavic phonetic transcriptionis used much less often.
The Polish alphabet has 32 letters:
aA 'lA bB cC cC dD eE ~~ fF gG hH
i I j J kK IL IL mM nN itN 00 66 pP
rR sS sS tT uU wW yY zZ iZ zZ
The letters q, ~, n never appear at initial positions of words.Therefore, capital letters are only used when each letter in a word iscapitalized e.g. D4BKJ, CZF;STOCHOWA, POZNAN.
Sounds, which do not exist in Latin, are designated by letterstogether with diacritical marks as well as by digraphs. The followingdiacritical marks exist in Polish:
- accents (l'accent aigu) over letters 6, c, n, 05, t,- oblique line crossing the letter I,
8
- dot over t,- hooks bent to right under q and~.
In vowels these hooks represent nasality. The accent over 6reflects its former pronunciation (a sound between 0 and u).
In consonants, accents over 6, 11, oS and i represent palatal soundsand are written before a consonant letter e.g. Srem or at the word-finalposition, e.g. Poznan. Their palatalization before vowels is marked bythe letter i, e.g. Siedlce.
A dot over t represents a postalveolar consonant, as oppose to adental z.
The oblique line crossing I represents a dental sound (as opposeto alveolar I), which tends to disappear (see Pronunciation Table) andis a relic of historic phonetics (like 6).
The following digraphs exist in Polish: ch, CZ, dz, di, di, rz, sz.In alphabetical lists digraphs are not represented as separate letters,but are listed under their first letter, and then in a strict alphabeticalorder e.g. ch is placed between c~ and ci, cz between cy and drespectively.
Below is the list of Polish letters and digraphs together withtheir phonetic equivalents in international transcription. Theseexamples refer both to generic terms and geographic names.

Basic Rules of Polish Spelling
Polish spelling originated during the Middle Ages. It was thenmodified and improved over the next few centuries. Current Polishspelling is based on the rules codified in 1936 with a few minorchanges.
The following rules apply to the Polish spelling (whichsometimes are in conflict with each other):
- the phonetic rule, stating that each voice should berepresented by a unique letter as in dom, [as, woda,
- the morphological rule, stating that a link between differentforms of one word or its derivatives should be maintained despite thefact that their current pronunciation may differ e.g. prog, gen. sgprogu, bor sg, bory pI,
- the historic rule, which maintains different orthography ofsounds formerly pronounced differently (compare rzeka and iulawy,bor and pustynia, rosocha and hUla), and
- the conventional rule e.g. capitalization ofgeographic names.
Rules of Pronunciation
There are 36 phonemes in Polish. In Polish spelling thesephonemes are represented by particular letters or by theircombinations. A single letter can ,correspond to more than onephoneme variants, and also two separate letters can represent the samephoneme (e.g. ch - h, rz - i). In particular the rules refer to thepronunciation of nasal vowels and voiced consonants.

The rules of Polish pronunciation can be found in dictionariese.g. in 'Slownik wymowy polskiej' (Dictionary of Polish Pronunciation), edited by M. Karas, M. Madejowa, Warszawa 1977or 'Podr~czny slownik poprawnej wymowy polskiej' (CompactDictionary of Correct Polish Pronunciation), edited by W. Lubas, S.Urbaitczyk, Warszawa 1990.
Rules for Spelling of Geographical Names
The rules for spelling of geographical names can be found inspelling dictionaries e.g. in 'Nowy slownik ortograficzny PWN' (TheNew PWN Spelling Dictionary of Polish), edited by E. Polaitski andpublished in 1999.
Capitalization
Both one-word and multiword geographic names are writtenwith a capital letter in Polish e.g. Tatry, Przemysl, Wigry, DqbrowaG6rnicza, Dolny Slqsk, Wielki Staw, Na Klesniskach, U Wierzbki.Prepositions which are not components of a geographic name are notcapitalized unless they are at initial positions, e.g. Naklo nad Noteciq,R6wnia pod Snietkq, Kanal w Lqce.Generic terms are not capitalized unless they are parts of a geographicname, e.g. miasto L6di, rzeka Wisla,jezioro Goplo (but Nowe Miasto,Stara Rzeka).Also, adjectives formed from geographic names are written with smallletters unless they are components of a geographic name e.g. Mak6wMazowiecki, Wyiyna Malopolska, Jezioro Rajgrodzkie.
Hyphen Use
The hyphen is used only in the case of names composed of twopreviously existing names e.g. Bielsko-Biala, Skariysko-Kamienna,Kanal Wieprz-Krzna.
Also, two equivalent elements of a multiword adjectivalgeographic name are also divided by a hyphen e.g. WyiynaKrakowsko-Cz~stochowska,Pojezierze Chelminsko-Dobrzynskie.
14
Spelling of Adjectives formed from Multiword Geographic Names
a. Adjectives formed from two-word geographic names ar~ spelledas a single word if a noun exists in a name e.g.nowomiejski fromNowe Miasto, dolnoslqski from Dolny Slqsk,)zdJ/11skowqlski fromZdunska Wola and also zachodniopomorspfr;omPomorze Zachodnie,and srOdziemnomorski from Morze Sr6dzi~mrze.
b. In certain cases. adjectives are fonl·l(.~d only from the nounal partof such names e.g. opolski from OpoleLubelskie, sredzki from SrodaSlqska, sfll)olenski from Sfll)61no Krajenskie.
c. Adjectives formedfiom two-word geographic names spelledwith a hyphen are also spelled with a hyphen e.g. golubsko-dobrzynskifrom Golub-Dobrzyn, k?dzierzynsko-kozielski frOIl) K?dzierzyn-Koile.
d. Adjectives formed from two independent geographic names arespelled with a hyphen e.g. strzelecko-drez4enecki from Strzelce(Krajenskie) and Drezdenko, warminsko-mqzurski from Warmia andMazury. .
3. Dialects of Polish
The Polish-speaking area is traditionally divided into fivedialectal groups: Kaszubski (Kashllbian), Malopolski, Mazowiecki(Mazovian), SlllSki (Silesian), and Wielkopolski. In recent researchalso two dialects spoken in the Polish-Lithuanian, Polish-Belorussianand Polish-Ukrainian borderlands are discerned. These are calledP61nocnokresowy and Poludniowokresowy - (of northern andsouthern borderland). It is spoken not only by the. inhabitants of theseareas, but also by people who moved to the northeastern part of thecountry after the World War n. The younger generations usuallyspeak mixed dialects.
Kashubian dialect, sometimes considered a separate language,closely related to Polish. It is spoken in a small area of northernPoland in Pomorskie Voivodship. Archaic forms of names likeStarogard, Karwina are unique to Kashubian (Starogr6d and Krowinain the remaining areas).
15
Malopolski dialect occupies the largest part of Poland. It ischaracterized by geminate [s], [~] (e.g. Ossolin). The [xv] group ischanged to [f], e.g. Falej6wka from former Chwalej6wka.
Silesian dialect is characterized, among others, by thepronunciation of former long a as ° e.g. 20ry instead of tary.
In the Wielkopolski dialect we note the difference between thesuffixes of -ov- (after a hard consonant) and -ev- (after a formerlypalatalized consonants) e.g. Wilkowo, but Kowalewo.
Mazovian dialect changes the [xv] group to [1], e.g. Falenicafrom former Chwaleniea and also -ar- to -er-, e.g. [tertak] 'tartak'.
Kresowe (borderland) dialects are characterized by the semipalatal pronunciation of [e,], [z,], [fe,], with a stronger stress, whichcauses a prolonged pronunciation of the stressed syllable and a partialreduction ofunstressed vowels.
Certain features are characteristic of areas larger than the area ofa single dialect. These features are reflected in certain geographicnames (compare 20ry in Silesia and 2ary elsewhere, Dqbr6wno inKujawy and Dqbrowno in southern Poland, Redlowo in northernPoland and Radl6w elsewhere, Pleszew in Wielkopolska and Plasz6win Malopolska).
4. Origin of Geographical Names in Poland
The oldest geographic names in Poland are from pre-Polishperiod. These are usualIy names of large objects like mountain ranges(Sudety, Karpaty), rivers (Wisla, Odra). Lake and river names innortheastern Poland usually have Baltic origin (Prussian, Yatvingian,Lithuanian), e.g. Mamry, Pregola. However, these old names are notvery frequent.
The majority of geographic names in Polish lands are eitherthose specific to the whole Slavic territory (e.g. Studzieniea,Kamienna, Potok), or those, whose phonetics is specifically Polish(e.g. Dqbrowa, Broo, Czarna Rzeka)
Some geographic names, especially in borderland, are of foreignorigin. The majority is of German origin, which is a result of theformer language neighborhood and also of German settlers coming tothe Polish lands since the Middle Ages. Also, German names appeared
16
in western and southern Polish lands after the fall ofPoland in the late18th century, when significant areas of the former Poland wereannexed by Prussia and Austria. These areas belonged to Prussia andAustria until the end of the World War 1.
Besides the original names, also a number of names establishedby authorities, which were not used by inhabitants of these areas, canbe found on maps published during this time. During the Nazioccupation a large number of Polish geographic names was changedto German.
Names of German origin (e.g. O/sztyn) are also common innortheastern part ofPoland, which is a result of the Teutonic Knights'conquest in the Middle Ages.
German traces can be also found in roots of certain geographicnames (e.g. Rychwald, Szymbark, Czorsztyn) and also in Germanizedspellings of former Slavic names (e.g. Opo/e - Oppe/n, Wroclaw Bres/au).
In borderlands many names originate from the neighboringlanguages, e.g. Eastern Slavic forms exist along the eastern border(e.g. villages Berezka, Czystohorb, Dub6w), Czech and Slovak ones insouthern part of the country (e.g. rivers Slanica, Mutnik, Branica). Anumber of Romanian names (e.g. Mlaka, Magura, Kiczera) can befound in Beskidy Mountains, which is a result of the medievalshepherd's settlement. Many names of Baltic origin (Prussian,Yatvingian, and Lithuanian) can befound in northeastern Poland (e.g.Gie/ba, Wadqg, Dejna).

1I. GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES STANDARDIZATIONIN POLAND
1. History and Organization of the GeographicalNames Standardization
Collection and standardizat,i~~,of~eqgrap~iC names has a longtradition in Poland. It can be tracedl~ack tptlle'lSth century, when firstmaps and gazetteers covering the wholecou'rttry or its large parts werepublished.
On the turn of the 19th century fifteen volumes of the 'Slownikgeograficzny Kr6lestwa Polskiego'· (Geographic Dictionary of theKingdom ofPoland) appeared in print. It listed a very large number ofnames of villages, towns, rivers, mountains and lakes. Also the entriesof that dictionary contained the first attempt to standardize Polishgeographic names.
When Poland regained independence in 1918, it becamenecessary to standardize geographic names of objects in areasformerly annexed by Prussia, Austria and Russia. It resUlted in a newsystematic approach to these issues. Therefore, two editions of officialgazetteers were published during that time. Also first researchactivities on toponyms were initiated.
After the World War n it became vital to standardize geographicnames, and to establish new names on large areas. The Commissionfor Establishing Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects,which was established before the World War n, was reestablishedshortly after the war. The Commission underwent severalorganizational changes. It currently is a part of the Ministry of theInterior and Administration.
The activities of the Commission resulted in publication of thelists of standardized names such as 'Slownik nazw geograficznychPolski Zachodniej i P6lnocnej' (Dictionary of Geographic Names of
18
Western and Northern Poland} by S. Rospond - published in 1951(over 30,000; geographic ,and place! names), 'Urz~dowe nazwymiejscowosci i obiekt6w fizjogratiCznych' (Official Place Names andNames ofPhysiographic Objects), 197 volumes published before 1974c01,ltaining.lis~s of geographic pames covering half of the country each' volume" covered a separate county), and also 'Wykazurz~dmrych nazw miejscowosci w Polsce' (Index of Official PlaceNames in Poland), published in 1982 (about 100,000 names).
The UN recommendation to publish national gazetteers gaverise to the new activities in this field. In late 1970s the Head Office ofGeodesy and Cartography initiated a project aiming at the preparationof such a g~etteer in Poland. It was published in 1991. The 'Nazwygeograficzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Geographical Names of theRepublic of Poland) contained a selection of 30,000 place namesbased on a 1:500,000-scale map. The names were standardized by theKomisja Ustalania Nazw Miejscowosci i Obiekt6w Fizjograficznych(Commission for Establishing Names of Localities and PhysiographicObjects).
Owing to the procedure of the Commission's activities, only asmall number of Polish geographic na~es are standardized so far.Certain standardization activities are carried out by geographers,surveyors and cartographers during the map. editing process. Also, anumber of linguistic monographs on different kinds of geographicnames appeared in print.
It is estimated that about 1 million names are yet to bestandardized. These are especially names of hamlets, streams, hills,parts of lakes and the like. Small part of these names can be found inthe already existing databases.
In the early 1970s the Komisja Standaryzacji NazwGeograficznych poza Granicami Polski (Commission forStandardization of Geographical Names Outside Poland) wasestablished. It is responsible for the collection and standardization offoreign geographic names. It prepared a 4-volume 'Polskie nazwygeograficzne swiata' (Polish Geograpllic. Names of Foreign Areas)(199~-96) and also several other publications: 'The Polish ToponymicGuidelines' (1993), 'Nazwy panstw swiata,ich stolic i mieszkanc6w'(Names of Countries, their Capitals and Inhabitants) (1996), and
19
,Slownik terminow uzywanych przy standaryzacj i nazwgeograficznych' (Glossary Terminology used in the standardization ofGeographical Names) (1998).
2. Rules of the Standardization of Geographical Names
When standardizing geographic names it is vital to collectsources that should include:
- full name,- form ofgenitive (Genetivus),- local variant names,
information on the type of an object and its geographiclocation.
The following criteria of correctness are applied whenestablishing a standardized form ofa geographic name:
- contemporary pronunciation- most frequently used form- conformity with the standard Polish, less often with a
regional standard,- name etymology,- traditional form.The names of large objects are usually conformable to the
literary Polish. The names of small objects of local importance (e.g.those of meadows, gamekeeper's cottages, small lakes, and streets) aremore often conformable to a dialectal form.
All legal issues on geographic and place name standardizationare regulated by the act of 1948 (no. 36, act 251) recently amended in1990 - 'Dziennik Ustaw Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' 1990, no. 34, act198. A new act on geographic and place names is currently beinglegislated. It lays down the regulations on:
- establishing, changing and canceling official place names- establishing, changing and canceling official geographic
names- establishing, changing and canceling official geographic and
place names in the languages of ethnic minorities- publishing official lists of place names and other geographic
names.
20
3. Geographical Names Authorities
There is no separate agency with legal responsibility forstandardizing place names in Poland. However, there are advisoryboards responsible for preparation of projects on standardizationissues. These are Commission for Establishing Names of Localitiesand Physiographic Objects and Commission for Standardization ofGeographical Names Outside Poland.
The legal responsibility for approving geographic and placenames is vesteq,in appropriate state authority.
Komisja Ustalania Nazw MiejscowoSci i Obiekt6wFizjograficznych (Commission for Establishing Names of Localitiesand Physiographic Objects) at the Ministry of the Interior andAdministration advises on standardizing of geographic and placenames as well as on changes of their spelling and pronunciation.

Ill. SOURCES
1. Maps and Atlases
Topographic and administrative maps available currently inPoland have been edited and published by both national surveying andmapping authorities and th~Polish ArmYJopographic Service.
The following official map series ai-e,'availabl~:
- I :10,000 (prepared for ..the' whqle .country, printed sheetscover large cities and their metropol~tan areas)
- 1:25,000 (excluding the itori)l\vestem part of the country)- 1:50,000 (1977-1982, a new series published currently -
approx. 35% ofthe country covered so far)- 1:100,000(1979-1984) ..- 1:500,000 (1992); also as Tables 12.1 - 12.6 in the Atlas
Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (Atlas ofthe Republic of Poland),published by Gl6wny Geodeta Kraju (Surveyor General ofPoland), Warszawa 1993-1998,

Geographic names on 1:500,000 and 1: 750,000-scale maps areconsistent with the list of names in 'Nazwy geograficzneRzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Geographical Names of the Republic ofPoland). The names contained therein are standardized.
The following map series have been published by the PolishArmy Topographic Service:
- 1: 10,000 (1984, for Tatra Mountains)
22
- 1:50,000 (for environs of large cities and for some nationalparks)
- 1: 100,000 (since 1993 - a tourist map)- 1: 200,000 (1990-1992).
2. Gazetteers
The only Polish gazetteer contammg geographic coordinatespublished so far is the. 'Nazwy geograficzne RzeczypospolitejPolskiej' (Geographical "ijames of the Republic of Poland),Warszawa 1991. It contains approximately 28000 geographic andplace names, which corresponds to the typical set of names containedon a 1:500,000-scale topographic map. Amendments are listed in'Zarz(ldzenie ministra-szefa Urz~du Rady Ministr6w z dnia 11 grudnia1996 r. w sprawie ustalenia i zmiany nazw niekt6rych miejscowosci'(Monitor Polski Nr 79, 14 grudnia 1996, poz. 713).
The 'Katalog jezior polskich' (Catalog of Polish Lakes) by A.Choiilski, vol. I-Ill, Poznail1991-1992 is a similar publication. It is alist of 7000 lakes larger than 1 hectare (with their location on1:50,000-scale maps).
