Summary/Abstract: The situation of contemporary Polish is good. The language develops steadily in favourable legal, educational, scientific, and technological environments. The greatest language changes in Poland after 1945 include unprecedented standardisation of the public language. The situation of very few minority languages does not give rise to controversies. The command of foreign languages (particularly English) is increasingly better, which might result in revival of multilingualism in Poland.
