Polish is the official language of Poland and a recognized minority language in several neighbouring states. Large Polish-speaking communities exist in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, and Canada.
Polish has about 40 million native speakers, mainly in Poland, plus several million more in diaspora communities across Europe and North America.
Polish is a West Slavic language with free word order but a default SVO pattern. It has three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, neuter), seven cases for nouns and adjectives, and aspectual pairs of verbs (perfective vs. imperfective). Consonant clusters and nasal vowels are distinctive; palatalization plays an important role in inflection.
