Polish is natively known as Polski and belongs to the Indo-European, Slavic, West Slavic, Lechitic language family.
There are approximately 45 million native speakers worldwide.
Polish is the official language of Poland and the most widely spoken West Slavic language, with significant diaspora communities worldwide.
The Polish alphabet has 32 letters including nine with diacritics: a with ogonek, c with acute, e with ogonek, l with stroke, n with acute, o with acute, s with acute, z with acute, and z with dot above.
Polish grammar is highly complex, with seven grammatical cases, three genders, and an elaborate system of verb aspects that distinguish completed from ongoing actions.
Poland has a strong literary tradition including Nobel Prize laureates Henryk Sienkiewicz, Wladyslaw Reymont, Czeslaw Milosz, Wislawa Szymborska, and Olga Tokarczuk.
Polish retains many archaic Slavic features lost in other Slavic languages and has a unique set of sibilant consonants known as the "three series of sibilants."
Australia has a well-established Polish community of over 170,000 people of Polish ancestry. Major waves of migration occurred after World War II and during the Solidarity era of the 1980s. Communities are concentrated in Melbourne (Albion, Essendon), Sydney (Ashfield, Maroubra), Adelaide, and Perth. Polish Saturday schools, churches, and community clubs remain active.
About Drake
Drake is a parish and small rural community on the Bruxner Highway approximately 44 km east of Tenterfield, New South Wales and about 800 km north of Sydney, New South Wales.

In 1858 gold was discovered near Newmans Pinch, a hill on the western side of Fairfield (now Drake) and Timbarra and quite a few years later copper was also mined in the vicinity. The Timbarra Post Office opened on 1 November 1858, was renamed Drake in 1867 and closed in 1871. The later Drake office opened on 1 April 1879 and closed in 1985.
