User:Einstein92/Polish Cyrillic

I know that this will cause much controversy and that there are many people who say this is not necessary and so on. But I think this is quite interesting. Being a Pole myself I have always wondered how Polish should be written in an cyrillic orthography. Long I have worked it out and I came up with quite an interesting orthography which stunned even me. This is because I compared the Polish palatalization with other Slavic languages' palatalization and I by this I was able to create an orthography that enables Poles, but also other Slavs to understand the word written in their own language.

Palatalization in Polish
The Polish patalization shows many abnormalities to other Slavic languages' palatalization. Because of the Polish orthography many palatalization patterns are seen wrong.

Ďď to Dź dź
The dź is actually not the palatalization of dz, but of ď or dj so cyrillic дь. Eg. look at the word for day in Polish which is dzień and den in Czech. In Russian this is день which is transcriped ďeň or djenj. As you can see we can take the correct spelling of dzień directly from Russian, because of the correct palatalization system, which is falsely transcriped in Polish.

Ľľ to Ll
The Ll is actually the palatalization of Łł so in cyrillic ль. Eg. look at the word for Polish in Polish which is Polski. In Russian this is Польски and in Belorusian and Ucrainian it is Польскі which is transcriped Poľski or Poljski.

As you can see in Polish Ll never stands before Yy, because it is not palatalized and so does Łł never occur before Ii. But as we can see with all other consonants they occur before both Yy and Ii, so we have another irregular rule with Ll.

Řř to Rz rz
The rz is actually not a sound of its own, but the palatalization of r so cyrillic рь. In Czech this sound is half Polish, because the Řř is pronounced not ri, but rž. As a proof look at the name Grzegorz with comes from an old Slavic form of Gregor and is written Грегорь in cyrillic and so pronounced Gřegoř / Grjegorj.

With Řř we have another extra rule which is that when a patalization before an Ii happens then it is pronounce Yy, eg. Russian and Ucrainian при is written przy in Polish.

Sj sj to Śś
The ś is the palatalization of s so cyrillic сь.

Ťť to Ćć
This is almost the same as with dź. The ć is actually not the palatalization of c, but of ť or tj so cyrillic ть. As a solid proof I have all the infinitive forms of verbs from Russian which all end in ть and in ć in Polish, eg. in Polish być is the same быть in Russian. As you can see we can take the correct spelling of być and all other infinitive endings directly from Russian, because of the correct palatalization system, which is falsely transcriped in Polish.

Zjzj to Źź
The ź is the palatalization of z so cyrillic зь.

Double Consonant Palatalization
The are rules for the palatalization for s and z before palatalized consonants.

Both consonants are palatalized
Both consonants are palatalized when s or z stand beforе a palatalized:


 * t: observe all -ość or -ость in Polish and Russian
 * l: observe śliwka (plum) and Russian equivalent слива [sljiva]
 * m: observe śmierć (death) and Russian equivalent смерть [smjetj]
 * n: observe śnić (to dream) and Russian equivalent снить [snjitj]
 * w: observe świat (world) and Russian equivalent свет [svjet]

First consonant is palatalized
This occurs only when the second consonant should be a palatalized Rr. The s or z takes the palatalization, but Rr stays unpalatalized, eg. środa and in Russian срёда [srjoda].

Text example
As an example text I have taken the introduction to the Wikipedia article about the Polish language in Polish.

In Latin

Język polski (Język nowopolski, polszczyzna) należy wraz z językiem czeskim, słowackim, kaszubskim, dolnołużyckim, górnołużyckim oraz wymarłym połabskim do grupy języków zachodniosłowiańskich, stanowiących część rodziny języków indoeuropejskich.

Ocenia się, że język polski jest językiem ojczystym około 44 milionów ludzi na świecie[2] (w literaturze naukowej można spotkać szacunki od 40[3] do 48 milionów[4]), mieszkańców Polski oraz Polaków zamieszkałych za granicą (Polonia).

In Cyrillic

Ѩзык польскі (Ѩзык новопольскі, польщызна) налэжы враз з ѩзыкем чэскім, словацкім, кашубскім, дольнолужыцкім, го́рнолужыцкім ораз вымарлым полабскім до групы ѩзыко́в заходнёсловяньскіх, становѭцых чѧсть родины ѩзыко́в індоэуропэйскіх.

Оцэня сѩ, жэ ѩзык польскі ест ѩзыкем ойчыстым около 44 міліоно́в люди на свете (в літэратуре науковэй можна споткать шацункі од 40 до 48 міліоно́в), мешканьцо́в Польскі ораз Поляко́в замешкалых за граніцѫ (Полёня).
