Cyrillization of Polish
The Cyrillization of Polish has been practised in many forms and began in the mid-19th century in the Russian Empire. Between 1772 and 1815, the Russian Empire seized about four fifths of Poland-Lithuania, where Polish was the leading official language. Polish remained the official language of the incorporated Polish-Lithuanian territories until the late 1830s. Later, it was gradually replaced with Russian through the mid-1860s. A middle stage for the transition was the use of the Russian-style Cyrillic for writing Polish.[1]
Russian Cyrillization of Polish[edit]
The system of the Cyrillization of Polish, as employed in today's Russia, emerged during the 1970s in the post-war Soviet Union. It is a form of transcription.[2]
The Lord's Prayer[edit]
In Cyrillic:
Ойче наш, кторысь ест в небе, свять ся Имя Твое, прыйдь Кролество Твое, будь воля Твоя, яко в небе так и на земи. Хлеба нашего повседнего дай нам дисяй. И одпусть нам наше вины, яко и мы одпущаемы нашим виновайцом. И не водь нас на покушение, але нас збавь од злэго. Амен.
New Polish Cyrillic[edit]
Since the early 1990s, Polish-language religious books produced for Catholics in western Belarus (i.e. Grodno Diocese) have been published in the newly-devised Polish Cyrillic, which is largely based on the Russian form of this alphabet.[3]
The Lord's Prayer[edit]
In Polish Cyrillic:
Ойчэ наш, ктурысь ест в небе, сьвенць се Име Твое, пшыйдзь Крулество Твое, боньдзь воля Твоя, яко в небе так и на земи. Хлеба нашэго повшэднего дай нам дзисяй. И одпусьць нам нашэ вины, яко и мы одпушчамы нашым виновайцом. И не вудзь нас на покушэне, але нас збав одэ злэго. Амэн.[4]
In the Polish Latin alphabet:
Ojcze nasz, któryś jest w niebie, święć się Imię Twoje, przyjdź Królestwo Twoje, bądź wola Twoja, jako w niebie tak i na ziemi. Chleba naszego powszedniego daj nam dzisiaj. I odpuść nam nasze winy, jako i my odpuszczamy naszym winowajcom. I nie wódź nas na pokuszenie, ale nas zbaw ode złego. Amen.
