*się (not cię)


Fatal1tyk

i was just going to write that


Worthy_House_3672

That’s okay. Do you like it?


Fatal1tyk

Yea


WhatUsername-IDK

Why Щ for Ś? The letter Щ is etymologically related to Szcz, not to Ś. Furthermore, why should we make a letter for a soft s when there is already the soft sign? I can understand why for Ў and Л, but Щ seems strange.


Worthy_House_3672

Russian.


WhatUsername-IDK

But this is Polish. If you’re gonna follow Russian, why don’t you use the Е-Э pair and the И-Ы pair instead? (Sorry for sounding impolite, if it does.)


Worthy_House_3672

Because this cyrillization follows the orthography of all Cyrillic Slavic languages, not just Russian.


WhatUsername-IDK

Then why use Щ for Ś instead of Szcz, when you can use Сь for Ś?


Worthy_House_3672

This is my first post, and I will make more.

Godnośćcji?


Worthy_House_3672

That would be written as “годнощцьцї”.


I_love_languages_

Oh i haven't looked at the code and assumed that щ is just ść

It’s a lot easier to read lol

just found out how much of a retroflex nightmare polish phonology is 😭 my sad english/spanish phonology brain can't handle it


kouyehwos

Polish sz might technically be retroflex, but it’s really not very different from German sch, Italian sci, French/Portuguese ch… Spanish and English are kind of outliers with very fronted ch/sh/j which sound almost palatal to me.

You already put there Ю, Ѩ and Ѭ, why don't add Ѥ instead of Є?


6Yusuke9

Ђ is cooler than Џ, add it instead


Swittenbrh

They are not the same thing


6Yusuke9

The sound they make is the same so they are


Worthy_House_3672

They make similar sounds, which makes them different.


6Yusuke9

What is their difference?


Worthy_House_3672

Their etymology and sounds.


6Yusuke9

Bro.. I'm a serb myself and their sounds are literally the same 😭
