Polish is the most widely-used western Slavic language in the world. It is spoken by almost 100% of the nation of Poland as their native tongue. It is also spoken by Polish communities in nearby countries, such as Estonia, Finland and Germany. There are substantial communities of Polish-American and Polish-Canadian citizens. Belarus and Ukraine both have many Polish communities, with substantial numbers who speak Polish as their native language, though they constitute a linguistic minority in those nations. Many of these individuals still speak Polish as a second language. This language is increasingly used on the Internet, as Poland represents a growing market. Poland has always been important for business, its land being arable on the whole and its industries producing a multitude of goods. Its statue in Eastern Europe is also impressive, being one of the largest of those nations.
Polish has several different dialects, which are spoken regionally throughout the country. The language, however, is fairly standardized and the differences in dialects do not make them unintelligible to one another. A good Polish translator can, essentially, open up the entire nation to a business. The language is written with Latin characters, with some accent marks, which makes it easy to implement on web pages. This language is, on the whole, unintelligible to an English speaker, and requires a professional translator to be understood in the written or spoken form. There is an extensive history of Polish literature, and the language is very much attached to the identity of the nation.
