This is outrageous! I will call all users of our Polish instance "SZMER" to... OK, I might be getting your point.

Bezwzględny Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz wyruszył ze Szczebrzeszyna przez Szymankowszczyznę do Pszczyny. I choć nieraz zalewała go żółć, niepomny następstw znalazł ostatecznie szczęście w źdźble trawy.

EDIT: copy/pasted from somewhere, this looks incredible to pronounce! The only polish word I know is kurwa, and Zubrowka.

It may look hard, but those are more of a spelling nightmare than pronounciation ones

Hard ones to pronounce are for example: "Chrząszcz brzmi w trzczcinie w szczebrzeszynie" or "stół z powyłamywanymi nogami"

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiwicz is a popular joke name. Plausible sounding, but, to my surprise, not registered to actually exist. Yet to close to my real name for me to find the video link all that funny, rather than a common expirience even with other Poles.

I feel like we'd all be much more on board with this if Poland wasn't in the shadow of Hungary right next door looking like somebody's cat had a serious episode on top of a keyboard.

Did Hungary annex Slovakia again or what?

Yeah, Welsh is even more special ...

[-] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

It's actually not. The Basque language has zero relationship to any other language in existence. It's totally unique.

[-] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 16 points 3 days ago

It's not spelling, it's the grammar and ortography that would make you want to peel your skin off.

I wonder if we had ž etc like Czechs would it make it easier for foreigners to read

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Fun fact: The Czech adopted š, č and ž to look less German. The Lithuanians adopted it to look less Polish.

Based Jan Hus. Sparking religious wars and linguistic reforms.

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

That happened hundreds of years after Hus.

It would certainly make Polish easier to read for Czechs. Not sure about other foreigners, šžčřě might be just as alien.

Took 2 years of Polish at University. I spent more time on that one class than all my other classes combined... And I went to school for Education.

Na mleko mam alergię
