History of Polish Language
The precursor to the Polish language is the Old Polish Language.
Polish was once a lingua franca in parts
of Central and Eastern Europe, because of the political, cultural,
scientific and military influence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Slav Origins:
Most Scholars agree that the original Slav homeland lay
within the boundaries of modern Poland in the Odra (Oder) and
Wisła
(Vistula) basins. The Slavs subsequently expanded into territories to
the east, south and west and became increasingly differentiated until,
by AD 800, three main geographical and linguistic divisions had arisen;
the East Slavs inhabiting a large part of European Russia, the South
Slavs who settled in the Balkan Peninsula, and the West Slavs who
settled in what is now Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. The
West Slavs suffered different fates; the Lusatians and Veleti were
absorbed by German expansion, the Czechs and Moravians merged to form
the nucleus of the Czech Kingdom, whilst the Slovaks became part of the
kingdom of Hungary. The remaining tribes, including the Polanie,
Wislanie, Pomorzanie and the Mazovians, joined together (in time) to
form the Polish State.
