Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with changes to the rules of Polish spelling, which The Council for the Polish Language at the Presidium of the Polish Academy of Sciences announced in May 2024 and which are to come into force at the beginning of 2026. The authors recall earlier 20th-century activities in the field of spelling codification and, against this background, present theoretical justifications for the adopted concept of changes. They also provide information on specific activities of The Council for Polish Language, which led to the preparation and then adoption by the Council of the announced documents.
