Extract

Polish is a consonant language. On one phonemic analysis (Biedrzycki, 1974: 35) it has thirty-one consonants and six vowels. The main factor contributing to the richness of the Polish consonant system is the range of grooved frictionals; each fricative has a corresponding affricate and vice versa, each voiced frictional has a corresponding voiceless frictional and vice versa.
