I am writing this page because I came across this page and strongly disliked certain aspects of what I saw (although I liked most of it). The reason I disliked it was because BalkanFever is more familiar with Macedonian than he is with Russian and Polish is genetically much closer to Russian than to Macedonian (which explains why I understand Polish better than I do Macedonian). Another reason is that I completely disagree with the saying, "Write as you speak and speak as is written," and therefore do not like the one-to-onephoneme-grapheme relationship. I have therefore decided to modify BalkanFever's version to make my own version which I think would have been closer to what Polish would actually look like had the majority of Poland been Orthodox rather than Catholic.
If the c or dz was historically an affricate, it would be represented by ц and ѕ. However, if the sound was historically a plosive that went through affrication, it would be represented by д or т.
The sound /i/ is represented by і when it comes after a consonant or when it represents Greekiota in a Greekloanword. In other locations or when representing Greek eta, и is used.
Where in standard Polish orthography a j follows a non-palatalized consonant, the letter ъ should be placed between the consonant and the /j/ sound. In the case of a palatalized consonant, ь should be used instead. The letters ъ and ь should be thought of as silent vowels in these situations. The letter ъ should also be used at the end of words and prefixes that end in an non-palatalized consonant.
Diacritical marks are always optional. They are discouraged except to clarify ambiguity in which case they are preferable.
The letters ё and е́ are used only when the sound was historically /jɛ/ or /ʲɛ/ or from Frencheu, Germanö, or the sound /ø ~ œ ~ ɜ/ from any other language. Otherwise йо or йо́ is used (ьо or ьо́ after consonants). The letter ю would be used rather than е́, йо́, or ьо́ if the sound is unrelated to the standard Polish letter ó.
The sounds /lʲ/, /ɫ/, and /rʲ/ are obsolete standard Polish and are included merely to explain the Cyrillic letter chosen to represent it.
Wszyscy ludzie rodzą się wolni i równi pod względem swej godności i swych praw. Są oni obdarzeni rozumem i sumieniem i powinni postępować wobec innych w duchu braterstwa.
Вшисцы люде роѕѫ сѩ вольни и ро́вни под възглѩдэм свэй годности и свых правъ. Сѫ они обдарени розумэм и суменем и повинни постѧповать вобэц инных в духу братэрства.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Przysięgam Panu Bogu Wszechmogącemu, że Ojczyźnie mojej, Polskiemu Królestwu, i memu przyszłemu Królowi na lądzie i wodzie i na każdym miejscu wiernie i uczciwie służyć będę; że w wojnie obecnej dotrzymam wiernie braterstwa broni wojskom Niemiec i Austro-Węgier oraz państw z nimi sprzymierzonych; że będę przełożonych swych i dowódców słuchał, dawane mi rozkazy i przepisy wykonywał i w ogóle tak się zachowywał, abym mógł żyć i umierać jako mężny prawy żołnierz polski. Tak mi, Boże, dopomóż!
Присѩгам Пану Богу Вшехмогѫцэму, же Ойчизне моей, Польскему Кро́леству, и мэму пришлэму Кро́лёви на лѭде и воде и на каждымъ мейсцу верне и учтиве служить бѧдѧ; же в войне обэцнэй дотримам верне вратэрства брони войском Немец и Аустро-Вѧгер ораз паньств з ними спримерёныхъ; же бѧдѧ преложоных свых и дово́дцо́в слухалъ, даванэ ми розказы и препѹсы выконывал и в ого́ле так сѩ заховывалъ, абым мо́гл жить и умерать яко мѧжны правы жолнерь польский. Так ми, Боже, допомо́жь!
I hereby swear to the God Almighty, that I shall loyally serve my Fatherland, Kingdom of Poland and my future King, both on water and on land, and in any circumstances; that during this war I shall remain a loyal brother in arm of the soldiers of Germany and Austria-Hungary and of the states allied to them; that I shall obey my superiors and commanders, fulfil the orders and generally behave so as to be able to live and die as a brave and just Polish soldier. So help me God!
