This article was really interesting and I learned how the Old Church Slavonic Ѧ, Ѫ, Ѩ, Ѭ relate to current Polish sounds.
But ... I'm interested in how the Polish Ł "fits in" to Л. The sounds are not similar from my English-speaking perspective though I don't know how that sound developed or is thought of from a native Pole.
- pvg 6y agoIt developed, oddly enough, from unpalatalized l. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%81#Polish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%81#Polish The phonetic relationship might be easier to see if you think about an English example. Children learning to speak, for instance, confuse and conflate these phonemes - we say things like 'wittle' for 'little' to imitate infant speech.
- niceairport 6y agoMy grandpa is Polish but he was born in the eastern part of Poland, which is now Ukraine. The way he pronounces the ł sound is very similar to how Russian speakers pronounce Л. I am not sure this answers your question, however.
