This third edition contains the newest available data. It also includes a number of modifications; notably, the glossary of terms used on maps has been expanded. A full-colour map of the new administrative division is also included to the current edition of the "Toponymic Guidelines of Poland". This publication is designed to serve the international community. We hope that it will popularize the Polish geographic names in the world and will also be an useful source of information to the mapmakers and map users. Surveyor General of Poland Ethnic minorities in Poland do not exceed 3% of the total population. Germans live in southwestern and northeastern parts of Poland (Slajskie and Opolskie Voivodships). Slovaks live in southern part (Malopolskie Voivodship). The Ukrainians live in the southeastern, northern and western part of the country; Belorussians in the east (Podlaskie Voivodship), and Lithuanians and Russians also in the eastern part of the country. Their languages, as well as the languages of other dispersed ethnic minorities (Romanies. Tartars, Armenians, Greeks, Czechs, and French), as well as the languages of ethnic groups (Kashubians, Lemkos) are not used as official languages. Some of the minorities have their own organizations, schools, theaters and similar establishments in which they use their national languages. The 'Ustawa o urz^dowych nazwach miejscowosci i obiektow fizjograficznych' (Act on Official Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects) which is currently being legislated provides that an additional official name in the language of an ethnic minority can be established. 2. Polish Literary Language The Polish Alphabet Poles use Latin alphabet, to which a number of diacritical marks were added. Also, the letters q, v, x were omitted (they are used only in words of foreign origin). In international publications the API Phonetic Alphabet is used as a rule. The Slavic phonetic transcription is used much less often. The Polish alphabet has 32 letters: aA a_4 bB il jJ rR sS kK sS cC gG hH 1 L 1L m M n N n N o O 0 6 pP tT c C dD eE uU wW e. £ fF yY zZ zZ zZ The letters q, e, n never appear at initial positions of words. Therefore, capital letters are only used when each letter in a word is capitalized, e.g. D4BKI, CZ^STOCHOWA, POZNAN. Sounds, which do not exist in Latin, are designated by letters logether with diacritical marks as well as by digraphs. The following diacritical marks exist in Polish: - accents (1'accent aigu) over letters o, c, n, s, i, - oblique line crossing the letter /, - dot over z, - hooks bent to right under q and £. In vowels these hooks represent nasality. The accent over 6 reflects its former pronunciation (a sound between o and M). In consonants, accents over c, n, s and i represent palatal sounds and are written before a consonant letter, e.g. Srem or at the wordfinal position, e.g. Poznan. Their palatalization before vowels is marked by the letter i, e.g. Siedlce. A dot over z represents a postalveolar consonant, as oppose to a dental z. The oblique line crossing / represents a dental sound (as oppose to alveolar /), which tends to disappear (see Pronunciation Table) and is a relic of historic phonetics (like o). The following digraphs exist in Polish: ch, cz. dz, dz. dz. rz. sz. In alphabetical lists digraphs are not represented as separate letters, but are listed under their first letter, and then in a strict alphabetical order, e.g. ch is placed between c% and ci, cz between cy and d respectively. Below is the list of Polish letters and digraphs together with their basic phonetic equivalents in international transcription. These examples refer both to generic terms and geographic names.

Basic Rules of Polish Spelling Polish spelling originated during the Middle Ages. It was then modified and improved over the next few centuries. Current Polish spelling is based on the rules codified in 1936 with a fe\r changes. The following rules apply to the Polish spelling (which sometimes are in conflict with each other): - the phonetic rule, stating that each voice should be represented by a unique letter as in dom, las, woda, - the morphological rule, stating that a link between different forms of one word or its derivatives should be maintained despite the fact that their current pronunciation may differ e.g. prog. gen. sg progu. bar sg, bory pi, - the historic rule, which maintains different orthography of sounds formerly pronounced differently (compare rzeka and -iilawy, bor and pustynia, chlodnia and huta), and - the conventional rule, e.g. capitalization of geographic names. Rules of Pronunciation There are 36 phonemes in Polish. In Polish spelling these phonemes are represented by particular letters or b\r combinations. A single letter can correspond to more than onephoneme variants, and also two separate letters can represent the same 11 phoneme (e.g. ch - h, rz - z). In particular the rules refer to the pronunciation of nasal vowels and voiced consonants. Phoneme Pronunciation Example (API) / o/ « G^ski Position before fricative consonants om D^bki before p, b on Lqcko before c, cz, d, dz. t on M^cice before c, ci, dz, dzi or) L^kowo before k, g p Lubsko, Niesob before voiceless consonants and as final sounds b Busko, Kolbiel in other positions x Chehn x Hrubieszow in standard pronunciation /y/ y Hrubieszow voiced in regional pronunciation (eastern Poland) /d/ t Zawadka, Nowogrod before voiceless consonants and as final sounds d D^bsko in other positions ts Klodzko, Luboradz before voiceless consonants and as final sounds dz Radzyn in other positions /b/ /x/ /dz/ 12 /dz/ id t?

Karas, M. Madejowa, Warszawa 1977 or 'Podr^czny slownik poprawnej wymowy polskiej' (Compact Dictionary of Correct Polish Pronunciation), edited by W. Lubas, S. Urbaiiczyk, Warszawa 1990. Rules for Spelling of Geographical Names The rules for spelling of geographical names can be found in spelling dictionaries. The most comprehensive of these is the 'Nowy slownik ortograficzny PWN' edited by E. Polanski. Warsza\\ 1999. The 'Nowy slownik poprawnej polszczyzny" edited by A. Markowski, which was published in the same year can also serve as a useful source of information on geographic names (declension and formation of adjectives). Capitalization Both one-word and multiword geographic names are written with a capital letter in Polish, e.g. Tatry, Przemysl. Wigry. Dqbrowa Gornicza, Dolny Slqsk, Wielki Sta\v, Na Klesniskach, U Wierzbki. Prepositions which are not components of a geographic name are not capitalized unless they are at initial positions, e.g. Naklo nad Xoteciq, Rownici pod Sniezkq, Kanal w Lqce. Generic terms are not capitalized unless they are parts of a geographic name, e.g. miasto Lodz, rzeka Wisla,jezioro Goplo (but Nowe Miasto, Stara Rzeka). 14 Also, adjectives formed from geographic names are written with small letters, e.g. tatrzanski, przemyski, dqbrowski, nakielski, unless they are components of a geographic name e.g. Makow Mazowiecki. Wyzyna Malopohka, Jezioro Rajgrodzkie. Certain adjectives are formed in a way differing from the pattern: e.g. the adjective formed from the name of Kolno has the form kolnenski; similarly Krosno - krosnienski and K^pno - k^pinski (without -e-), whereas regularly formed adjectives from the names ending with -no have the form ending with the formant -eriski: e.g. Wilno - wilenski, Grodno - grodzienski, Grzybno - grzvhienski, Slawno - slawienski, Mogilno - mogilenski. Also, the following irregularly formed adjectives should be noticed: gorowski (from Gora, but: Jelenia Gora -jeleniogorski, Kamienna Gora - kamiennogorski), rycki - from Ryki, nizanski - from Nisko, konecki - from Konskie, leszczynski - from Leszno, suski - from Sucha Beskidzka. H y p h e n Use The hyphen is used only in the case of names composed of two previously existing names, e.g. Bielsko-Biata, Skarzysko-Kumienna, Kanal ll'ieprz-Krzna. Also, two equivalent elements of a multiword adjectival geographic name are also divided by a hyphen, e.g. Wyzyna Krako\rsko-Cz%stochowska, Pojezierze Chelminsko-Dobrzynskic. S p e l l i n g of Adjectives formed from Multiword Geographic Names a. Adjectives formed from two-word geographic names are spelled as a single word if a noun exists in a name, e.g. nowomie/ski from Nowe Miasto. dolnoslqski from Dolny Slq.sk, zdunskowolski from Zdunska Wola and also zachodniopomorski from Pomorze Zuchodnie, and srodziemnomorski from Morze Srodziemne. b. In certain cases adjectives are formed only from the nounal part of such names, e.g. opolski from Opole Lubehkie, sredzki from Sroda Slqska. s^polenski from Sqpolno Krajenskie. 15 c. Adjectives formed from two-word geographic names spelled with a hyphen are also spelled with a hyphen, e.g. golubsko-dobrzynski from Golub-Dobrzyn, k^dzierzymko-kozielski from Kiidzierzyn-Kozle. d. Adjectives formed from two independent geographic names are spelled with a hyphen, e.g. strzelecko-drezdenecki from Sirzelce (Krajemkie) and Drezdenko, warminsko-mazurski from Wcirmia and Mazitry. 3. Dialects of Polish The Polish-speaking area is traditionally divided into five dialectal groups: Kaszubski (Kashubian), Malopolski, Mazowiecki (Mazovian), Slajski (Silesian), and Wielkopolski. In recent research also two dialects spoken in the Polish-Lithuanian, Polish-Belorussian and Polish-Ukrainian borderlands are discerned. These are called Polnocnokresowy and Pomdniowokresowy - (of northern and southern borderland). It is spoken not only by the inhabitants of these areas, but also by people who moved to the northeastern part of the country after the World War II. The younger generations usually speak mixed dialects. The only dialectal features given below are those reflected in geographic names. Kashubian dialect, sometimes considered a separate language, closely related to Polish. It is spoken in a small area of northern Poland in Pomorskie Voivodship. Archaic forms of names like Starogard, Karwina are unique to Kashubian (Starogrod and Knnvina in the remaining areas). Malopolski dialect occupies the largest part of Poland. It is characterized by geminate [s], [$] (e.g. Ossolin). The [xv] group is changed to [/"], e.g. Falejowka from former Chwalejowka. Silesian dialect is characterized, among others, by the pronunciation of former long a as o, e.g. Zory instead ofZciry. In the Wielkopolski dialect we note the difference between the suffixes of -ov- (after a hard consonant) and -ev- (after a formerly palatalized consonants), e.g. Wilkowo, but Kowalewo. Mazovian dialect changes the [xv] group to [/], e.g. Falenica from former Chwalenica and also -ar- to -er-, e.g. [tertak] 'lurluk'. 16 Kresowe (borderland) dialects are characterized by the semipalatal pronunciation of [f,], [z,], [19,], with a stronger stress, which causes a prolonged pronunciation of the stressed syllable and a partial reduction of unstressed vowels. These features are not reflected in the spelling of geographical names. Certain features are characteristic of areas larger than the area of a single dialect, e. g. the change of ra-,ja- into re-, je- (characteristic of the northern part of the country). These features are reflected in certain geographic names (compare Zory in Silesia and Zury elsewhere, Dqbrowno in Kujawy and Dqbrowno in southern Poland, Redlowo in northern Poland and Radlow elsewhere, Plexzew in Wielkopolska and Ptaszow in Malopolska). 4. Origin of Geographical Names in Poland The oldest geographic names in Poland are from pre-Polish period. These are usually names of large objects like mountain ranges (Sudety. Karpaty), rivers (Wisla, Odrd). Lake and river names in northeastern Poland usually have Baltic origin (Prussian. Yuivingian, Lithuanian), e.g. Mamry, Pregola. However, these old names are not very frequent. The majority of geographic names in Polish lands are either those specific to the whole Slavic territory (e.g. Siutlzienica, Kamienna, Pot ok), or those, whose phonetics is specifically Polish (e.g. Dqbrowa, Brod, Czarna Rzekd). The following toponyms exemplify the group of names being the old polish or dialectal appellative. The most common examples include: Bar do 'hill' Bielawy from bielawa 'swamp' Bielsko from biel 'marsh' Chelm 'hill' Debrzno from debrz 'ravine, valley' Hel 'foreland stretching into the sea' Kalek from kat 'mud' Koscierzyna from koscierz 'scrub' Kruszwica from krusza 'pear tree' Krynicu 'zrodlo', derived from Ukrainian L^dziny from l^do 'arable land' Mogilno from mogila 'hill', compare Magura below Ostrow 'island' Sopot "spring' Szczyrk 'type of soil' Trzemeszno from trzemcha 'bird cherry' Uscie. Ustka, etc. ujscie, Old Polish uscie (dualis. i.e the Ibrmerly used dual rmmber). Some geographic names, especially in borderland, are of foreign origin. The majority is of German origin, which is a result of the former language neighbourhood and also of German settlers coming to the Polish lands since the Middle Ages. Also, German names appeared in western and southern Polish lands after the fall of Poland in the late 18th century, when Prussia and Austria annexed significant areas of the former Poland. These areas belonged to Prussia and Austria until the end of the World War I. Besides the original names, also a number of names established by authorities, which were not used by inhabitants of these areas, can be found on maps published during this time. During the Nazi occupation a large number of Polish geographic names was changed to German (e.g. Oswi^cim to Auschwitz). Names of German origin (e.g. Olsztyri) are also common in northeastern part of Poland, which is a result of the Teutonic Knights' conquest in the Middle Ages. German traces can be also found in roots of certain geographic names (e.g. Rychwald, Szymbark, Czorsztyn. compare the German names - Wald, Burg, Stein), and also in Germanized spellings of former Slavic names (e.g. Opole - Oppeln, Wroclaw - Breslau}. In borderlands many names originate from the neighbouring languages, e.g. Eastern Slavic forms exist along the eastern border (e.g. villages Berezka, Czystohorb, Dubow), Czech and Slovak ones in southern part of the country (e.g. rivers Slanica, Mutnik. Brunica). A number of Romanian names (e.g. Mlaka, Magura, Kiczeru) can be found in Beskidy Mountains, which is a result of the medieval 18 shepherd's settlement. Many names of Baltic origin (Prussian, Yatvingian, and Lithuanian) can be found in northeastern Poland (e.g. Gielba. Wadqg, Dejnd). 19 II. GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES STANDARDIZATION IN POLAND 1. History and Organization of the Geographical Names Standardization Collection and standardization of geographic names has a long tradition in Poland. It can be traced back to the 18th century, when first maps and gazetteers covering the whole country or its large parts were published. On the turn of the 19th century fifteen volumes of the "Slownik geograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego' (Geographic Dictionar\f the Kingdom of Poland) appeared in print. It listed a very large number of names of villages, towns, rivers, mountains and lakes. Also the entries of that dictionary contained the first attempt to standardize Polish geographic names. When Poland regained independence in 1918. it became necessary to standardize geographic names of objects in areas formerly annexed by Prussia, Austria and Russia. It resulted in a new systematic approach to these issues. Therefore, two editions of official gazetteers were published during that time. Also first research activities on toponyms were initiated. After the World War II it became vital to standardize geographic names, and to establish new names on large areas. The Commission for Establishing Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects, which was established before the World War II, was reestablished shortly after the war. The Commission underwent several organizational changes. It currently is a part of the Ministrx of the Interior and Administration. The activities of the Commission resulted in publication of the lists of standardized names such as 'Slownik nazw geograficznych Polski Zachodniej i Polnocnej" (Dictionary of Geographic Names of 20 Western and Northern Poland) by S. Respond - published in 1951 (over 30.000 geographic names), 'Urz?dowe nazwy miejscowosci i obiektow fizjograficznych' (Official Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects), 197 volumes published before 1974 containing lists of geographic names covering half of the country each volume covered a separate county), and also 'Wykaz urz?do\\ych nazw miejscowosci w Polsce' (Index of Official Names of Localities in Poland), published in 1982 (about 100,000 names). The UN recommendation to publish national gazetteers gave rise to the new activities in this field. In late 1970s the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography initiated a project aiming at the preparation of such a gazetteer in Poland. It was published in 1991. The ' Nazwy geograficzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Geographical names of the Republic of Poland) contained a selection of 30.000 place names based on a l:500,000-scale map. The names were standardized by the Komisja Ustalania Nazw Miejscowosci i Obiektow Fizjograficznych (Commission for Establishing Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects). Owing to the procedure of the Commission's activities, only a small number of Polish geographic names are standardized so far. Certain standardization activities are carried out by geographers, surveyors and cartographers during the map editing process. Also, a number of linguistic monographs on different kinds of geographic names appeared in print. It is estimated that about 1 million names are yet to be standardized. These are especially names of hamlets, streams, hills, parts of lakes and the like. Small part of these names can be found in the already existing databases. In the early 1970s the Komisja Standaryzacji Nazw Geograficznych poza Granicami Polski (Commission for Standardization of Geographical Names Outside Poland) was established. It is responsible for the collection and standardization of foreign geographic names. It prepared a 4-volume 'Polskie nazwy geograficzne swiata' (Polish Geographic Names of Foreign Areas) (1994-96) and also several other publications: 'The Polish Toponymic Guidelines' (1993), 'Nazwy panstw swiata, ich stolic i mieszkaricow' (Names of countries, their capitals and inhabitants) (1997). "Stownik 21 terminow uzywanych przy standaryzacji nazw geograficznych' (Glossary of terminology used in the standardization of geographical names) (1998), and Toponymic Guidelines of Poland for Map Editors and Other Users'(1999). 2. Rules of the Standardization of Geographical Names When standardizing geographic names it is vital to collect sources that should include: full name, - form of genitive (Genetivus), - adjective form, - local variant names, - information on the type of an object and its geographic location. The following criteria of correctness are applied when establishing a standardized form of a geographic name: - contemporary pronunciation - most frequently used form - conformity with the standard Polish, less often with a regional standard, - name etymology, - traditional form. The names of large objects are usually conformable to the literary Polish. The names of small objects of local importance (e.g. those of meadows, gamekeeper's cottages, small lakes, and streams) are more often conformable to a dialectal form. All legal issues on geographic names standardization are regulated by the act of 1948 (no. 36, act 251) recently amended in 1990 - 'Dziennik Ustaw Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej" 1990. no. 34. act 198. A new act on geographic and place names is currently being legislated. It lays down the regulations on: - establishing, changing and canceling official place names - establishing, changing and canceling official geographic names - establishing, changing and canceling official geographic and place names in the languages of ethnic minorities 22 - publishing the official gazetteer of names of localities at least every ten years and the official index of names of physiographic objects at least every twenty years. 3. Geographical Names Authorities There is no separate agency with legal responsibility for standardizing geographic names in Poland. However, there are advisor) boards responsible for preparation of projects on standardization issues. These are Commission for Establishing Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects and Commission for Standardization of Geographical Names outside Poland. The legal responsibility for approving geographic and place names is vested in appropriate state authority. Komisja Ustalania Nazw Miejscowosci i Obiektow Fizjograficznych (Commission for Establishing Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects) at the Ministry of the Interior and Administration advises on standardizing of geographic and place names as well as on changes of their spelling and pronunciation. Lists of standardized names are published in 'Monitor Polski'. Address: Commission for Establishing Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects Ministry of the Interior and Administration ul.

Maps and Atlases Medium- and large-scale topographic and administrative maps available currently in Poland have been edited and published by both national surveying and mapping authorities and the Polish Army Topographic Service. The following official map series are available: - 1:10,000 (prepared for the whole country, printed sheets cover large cities and their metropolitan areas) - 1:25,000 (excluding the northwestern part of the country) - 1:50,000 (1977-1982, a new series published currently approx. 50% of the country covered so far) - 1:100,000(1979-1984) - 1:500,000 (1992); also as Tables 12.1 - 12.6 in the 'Atlas Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Atlas of the Republic of Poland), published by Glowny Geodeta Kraju (Surveyor General of Poland), Warszawa 1993-1998, - 1:750,000 Rzeczpospolita Polska. Mapa administracyjna (Republic of Poland. Administrative Map), published by Glowny Geodeta Kraju (Surveyor General of Poland), Warszawa 1999. Geographic names on 1:500,000 and 1: 750,000-scale maps are consistent with the list of names in 'Nazwy geograficzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Geographical Names of the Republic of Poland). The names contained therein are standardized. The following map series have been published by the Polish Army Topographic Service: ' - 1:10,000(1984, for Tatra Mountains) 24 - 1:50,000 (for environs of large cities and for some national parks) - 1:100,000 (1993 - 2001, a topographic and tourist map) 1 : 200,000 (1990-1992). The 'Atlas Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Atlas of the Republic of Poland) vol. I-IV, Warszawa 1993-1998, Glowny Geodeta Kraju can also serve as a useful source. 2. Gazetteers The only Polish gazetteer containing geographic coordinates published so far is the 'Nazwy geograficzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Geographical Names of the Republic of Poland), Warszawa 1991. It contains approximately 28 000 geographic and place names. Amendments are listed in 'Zarz^dzenie ministra-szefa Urzedu Rady Ministrow z dnia 11 grudnia 1996 r. w sprawie ustalenia i zmiany nazw niektorych miejscowosci' ('Monitor Polski" Nr 79. 14 grudnia 1996, poz. 713). The list of counties with their names and seats is to be found in the 'Dziennik Ustaw Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Official Gazette of the Republic of Poland), no. 103. August 10, 1998. The changes to the division into counties have been introduced on May 21, 2001 by the Council of the Ministers; published in the 'Dziennik Ustaw Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Official Gazette of the Republic of Poland), no. 62, acts no. 630, 631. The "Katalog jezior polskich' (Catalog of Polish Lakes) by A. Choiiiski. vol. I-III, Poznan 1991-1992 is a similar publication. It is a list of 7000 lakes larger than 1 ha (with their location on 1:50.000scale topographic map sheets). The 'Wykaz urz^dowych nazw miejscowosci w Polsce' (Index of Official Names of Localities in Poland), vol. I-III, Warszawa 1982 is an earlier publication of this kind. It locates places by former administrative units (new administrative division was introduced on January 1, 1999).
