According to mind of Polish ethnographist and historian Franciszek Henryk Duchiński who was born in Polish-Ukrainian family,
Moskals or welikoroses (Russians) do not belong to either Slavic or even "Arian" tribe of humans.And constitute (on pair with Mongols)
part of some mythical "Turanian" branch of people.Their language is just corrupted Church-Slavonic language and originally wasn't even
Slavic.Russians spoke some Turanian language and borrowed some Slavic words.Turanian people are incapable of any democratic type of government,individual values or town-planning.

The natural division between Slavic and non-Slavic worlds according to him is Dniper and Dvina rivers and rivers of Finland.
He believed in messian role of Polish state and thought it is needed to recreate the Great Polish state which would also include parts of

Ukraine and Belarus.

History / FDR and Americas communist insurgency affecting Poland [35]

The obvious point was that Roosevelt (along with Churchill) sold Poland to the Soviets during the 3 conferences with Stalin, the Yalta Conference in February of 1945 being the last nail in Poland's coffin.

In any case so called "communism" existed in Poland 44 years at max. (1945-1989) and now Poland is already 23 years non-communist.So they did more than 1/2 of way they did under communism already.Have life conditions in Poland became equal to that in Germany?I think it is quite obvious Poles will not be able to live in any foreseable future or could live in the past exactly like Germans...They just never had historical experience of it.

Recently Polish unemploymen reached 14.4%

Defenitely each way of development is coming at cost.

History / FDR and Americas communist insurgency affecting Poland [35]

In one of the Polish documentary movies with pretentious name "Walka Swiatowa II" (WW II).
(80% of total movie was dedicated to Soviet soldiers and Ukrainian nationalists raping woman of all known in the
World nationalities and Stalin applauding them) they claimed that it was Winston Churchill who demanded
Stalin to compensate Poland with Western territories taken from Germany to replace those territories they
lost in the East.Wonder if it's true...

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

Polish "c" is pronounced like German "z", for example in the word "zwei".

Defenetely it's good thing to compare Polish with German as languages which
belong to the same family.Unfortunately I do not have Mongol dictionary with me to make
proper analysis of Russian and Ukrainian and therefore continue to compare them with
other Slavic languages.

Life / Could Poland become an immigrant country? [42]

Currently in Germany 1/3 of all children have at least one non-native German parent.
40% of all native German woman have zero children.Do you think Poles are suggesting
the same fate for themself?

Life / Could Poland become an immigrant country? [42]

Hopefully Poland learns from western europe/US and does not bring in blacks or muslims. Asians are a much better choice.

I thought that vast majority of muslims live in Asia.Aren't they Asians?

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

From what I know Slovak is closer (at least in pronounciation to Ukrainian/Russian) than to Polish.
If I no make mistake it totally lacks such Polish sounds as ł,ę,ą,ę,ś,ó.What is a serious difference already.
For example:

English - Polish - Slovak - Russian

White - Biały - Biely - Bielyj
Wife - żona - żena - žena
Sand - Piasek - Piesok - Piesok
Wind - Wiatr - Vietor - Vieter
Court - Sąd - Súd - Sud
Yard - Podwórze - Dvor - Dvor

English - Polish - Slovak - Ukrainian

Sword - Miecz - Meè - Meè
Glass - Szkło - Sklo - Sklo
Crime - Przestępstwo - Zloèin - Zloèin
Beauty - Piękność - Krása - Krasa
Will be - Będzie - Bude - Bude
Banner - Transparent - Prápor - Prápor
Times - Czasy - Doba - Doba
Straw Roof - Dach - Strecha - Stricha

If you could provide lots of oposite examples I'm all attention.

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

I wanted to include Czech words in file for comparison as well,but I'm affraid it will be instantly banned in this forum.
I will try to include Slovak words but if they are going to close the theme they could just warn me before it will happen.

I have question regarding pronounciation of Polish C letter.In wikipedia it is writen it sounds like English "ts".But in some
words such as Cieplo,Ciasto,Cichy when a word starts from this letter it sounds in Google translater more similar to Russian "T".

Or maybe it just seems to me?

I have new file with comparison between Polish and Russian words.Now everithing is in Polish alphabet.Take plesure to read it.
So, which languages do you believe have more cognates than Polish and Ukrainian?

Genealogy / Create gene bank of Slavic and therefore Polish people? [44]

If they came from a genetic pool of Slavs that is not to say the future of current or historical Slavic countries would still be that way.

It takes thousands if not tens of thousands of years for completely new phenotype to be shaped and we live in a time when old phenotypes disapper much faster (in historical means) than they are created.Probably humanity just experience some non-favorable period in history.Take in attention that all nations with relatively high education standards are not inclined to have natural replacement fertility levels.Modern young people have to study to long to get education and experience and after desperatly look for any work.So do we suppose to wait before all the educated people will disappear and forever lost genetic fond associated with them?Who will ressurrect Slavs and their culture?Well it could be done by those Slavs who will manage to survive and be happy to see more favorable conditions in far future, and principal changes in lifestile and technology.Then they could recreate Slavic cultures somewhere on Mars.

Also, some genetic abnormalities skip generations.

People with obvious and harmfull genetic abnormalities are not necessarly should be resurrected.But even they could be an interesting genetical material for investigation and research.In the future genetic science may go farther ahead and it would not be difficult to make genetic analysis of an stem cell and define its genetical phenotype before resurrection.

I don't know but if some modern scientists are very eager to resurrect mamots or dinosaurs then humans of the past could be of some interest too.

History / Which countries are Polands friends, which are Polands enemies? [75]

All that those quotes do was prove that socialism didn't work and the more open market there was the more successful the country was.

Could you give definition to "open market" economy?I will give some examples to explain my question.

1)Microsoft controls 90 person of O/S software in the World.
2)GM,Ford and Chrysler contol about 90% of domestic car production in U.S.
3)Boeing and Airbus control about 90% of large aircraft production in the World.
4)Intel and AMD control about 95% of computer processors production in the World.
5)80% of PC production in the World controled by just few companies.
6)100% of leagally produced Viagra is controled by Pfizer.

I think the contrast between West Germany and East Germany was even greater

Strange,but some surveys show that more than 40 % of former Eastern Germans want back to Eastern Germany.
Some say that even more than 75%.

starting from the closest to the Polish language:

1. Slovakian
2. Czech
3. Ukrainian

Could some linguist confirm that Czech is closer to Polish than Ukrainian to Polish?Either in vocabulary or prononce?
Or you could give some link to such a statement?

I found such a statement in I-net:

Czech is not any closer to Polish than Ukrainian is. On the contrary, Ukrainian has more shared words with shared meanings, whereas words shared between Polish and Czech tend to have different meanings in each language.

History / Which countries are Polands friends, which are Polands enemies? [75]

she came here from Russia when she was 10. According to her, the Russians don't like Poles and vice versa.

Majority of Russians hardly have any particular mind about Poles because they almost do not encounter them in everyday life.I could suggest that most of negative attitude (if it is present) comes from Poland being member of NATO and active American ally.What is regarded to be anti-Russian by some.But not even all people in Russia are concerned about NATO or some geopolitical aliances.Minds of majority of people are usually quite far from it.

Austria had income per head 4 x times that of Czechoslovakia. Just look at the difference in Living-standards between North nad South korea, socialism doesn't work.

Could you give some reference for this statement?For example Austrians had 4 times biger flats or apartments on average,consumed 4 times more food, had 4 times more clothing?Or how level of life could be compared more exactly?

Just look at the difference in Living-standards between North nad South korea, socialism doesn't work.

System which exist in North Korea is called socialism?Not in all former "communist countres" life conditions were equal.For example take Hungary:

In 1966, the Central Committee approved the "New Economic Mechanism" which eased foreign trade restrictions, gave limited freedom to the workings of the market, and allowed a limited number of small businesses to operate in the services sector.

/wiki/Goulash_Communism

Or former Yugoslavia:

Despite their common origins, the economy of socialist Yugoslavia was much different from the economies of the Soviet Union and other Eastern European communist countries, especially after the Yugoslav-Soviet break-up of 1948. Though ultimately owned by the state, Yugoslav companies were collectively managed by the employees themselves, much like in the Israeli kibbutz and the anarchist industrial cooperatives of Spanish Catalonia.

True, mostly. But if you ever have a chance to listen to Lower Sorbian (dolnołużycki) as spoken by those born 100 years ago (recordings exists) you'd think their language is no. 1 on that list.

You forgot to mention Kashubian,Silezian and Old Prussian.No metter how close they were to Polish but it allows effectively manage Ukrainian and Russian somewhere on 9-10 places.

Now, after so much time spent on this forum I don't know if you are being deliberately obtuse asking such a basic question but I'm going to answer it seriously.Yes, Polish is definitely closer to Czech than it is to Russian and closer to Slovak than it is to Ukrainian.

Sorry for ignorance,but some people on this forum including claimed naitive Polish speakers have different opinions on this regard.For example:

Moreover, Polish and Czech are very different due to historical reasons. Czech language as recreated in 19th century was deliberately made different from Polish so Czech people would not be afraid to lose their identity when neighboring with far larger Polish nation.

Polish and Russian have the same frequencies (if you analyse their spectra without looking at individual words, they are identical: that does not mean much in itself because that happens also with two uncorrelated languages such as Spanish and Greek). I speak Russian and right now I am in Poland and can understand quite a few things (I can even read newspapers!). Czech is also close to Polish, but I think to a lesser degree than Russian.

polishforums.com/general-language-17/the-languages-russian-polish-similar-all-3935/2/

Thanks to my father in law, I now have Czech tv and radio. It sounds more like Russian and Serbo-Croatian than Polish does. It is decidedly weaker than Polish.

Maybe these posts a bit confusing but I do not know...
And from what I know Slovak should be much closer to Czech than to Polish and also have some unique traits.And Ukrainian is much closer to Polish than Russian.Especially in vocabulary.So I do not know what to think.

łopata, łeba, ława, łał - compare with English wow.

I'm agree,strangely sound.Not so sure if it's exact counterpart of English W.
Wonder where it came from in Polish...
But I do not disagree that Polish has some strange sounds.For example "ą" or "ę".
Somebody said it is archaic.Probably, pronounciation is larger divider between Slavic languages.
I bet that Polish pronounciation is as distant from Czech as it is from Russian.
Could somebody tell if we could say definitely that Polish is closer to Czech than it is closer to Russian,
and closer to Slovak than it closer to Ukrainian?

Polish in the other hand has English "L" sound, and it's even sharper.

As I know Polish doesn't have upturn consonants when you have to put your tong as higher
as possible.Neither Polish "L", I think. I do not see what Russian "L" has to do with English "W".

Rather "W" is something average between Russian "V" and "U".And it's not very difficult for
Russian to mimic something close to English "W".

Polish puts stress on the second syllable from the last one on every single word which makes the language to sound not melodic unlike Russian that has moving stress

It has nothing to do with accent of both languages when they speak in English.

Russian has no English "w" sound (Polish has, it's "ł")

Could you give me examples of Polish words with letter "ł" sounding like English "W"? I want to check 'em in Google translator.

They did not say anything in polish, they made up some words to make it look like they say something in Polish

Russian accent is very strong and therefore easy to imitate, unlike Polish.

So,Polish lang. is closer to English in pronounciation (in comparison to Russian) and therefore not as strong?
It would be interesting to know.Could you give some details on Polish-Russian accent differences?What exactly
sounds Poles and Russians pronounce differently when they speak English so it makes Polish accent less pronounced?
