“Toponymic Guidelines of Poland for Map Editors and Other Users” was published by the Head Office ofGeodesy and Cartography and is its third edition.

The changes introduced in the administrative division of the country led to the need to update the previousedition. The present publication takes the latest data in this field into account and is also a supplement andcorrected version when compared with the 1999 edition. Among other features, the collection of entries in theglossary of terms and abbreviations has been substantially extended. The colour administrative map of Polandaccording to the state existing in 2002 is a supplement to the new version of “Toponymic Guidelines of Poland”.

Publisher's Note

The changes to the administrative division of Poland, that tookplace after 1999 resulted in the necessity of updating the previousedition of the "Toponymic Guidelines".

This third edition contains the newest available data. It alsoincludes a number of modifications; notably, the glossary of termsused on maps has been expanded.

A full-colour map of the new administrative division is alsoincluded to the current edition of the "Toponymic Guidelines ofPoland".

This publication is designed to serve the internationalcommunity. We hope that it will popularize the Polish geographicnames in the world and will also be an useful source of information tothe mapmakers and map users.

Surveyor General of Poland

Ethnic minorities in Poland do not exceed 3% of the totalpopulation. Germans live in southwestern and northeastern parts ofPoland (Slajskie and Opolskie Voivodships). Slovaks live in southernpart (Malopolskie Voivodship). The Ukrainians live in thesoutheastern, northern and western part of the country; Belorussians inthe east (Podlaskie Voivodship), and Lithuanians and Russians also inthe eastern part of the country. Their languages, as well as thelanguages of other dispersed ethnic minorities (Romanies. Tartars,Armenians, Greeks, Czechs, and French), as well as the languages ofethnic groups (Kashubians, Lemkos) are not used as officiallanguages. Some of the minorities have their own organizations,schools, theaters and similar establishments in which they use theirnational languages. The 'Ustawa o urz^dowych nazwachmiejscowosci i obiektow fizjograficznych' (Act on Official Names ofLocalities and Physiographic Objects) which is currently beinglegislated provides that an additional official name in the language ofan ethnic minority can be established.

2. Polish Literary Language

The Polish Alphabet

Poles use Latin alphabet, to which a number of diacritical markswere added. Also, the letters q, v, x were omitted (they are used onlyin words of foreign origin). In international publications the APIPhonetic Alphabet is used as a rule. The Slavic phonetic transcriptionis used much less often.

The Polish alphabet has 32 letters:

aA a_4 bB cC cC dD eE e. £ fF gG hH

i l j J k K 1L 1L mM nN nN oO 06 pP

rR sS sS tT uU wW 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 iscapitalized, e.g. D4BKI, CZ^STOCHOWA, POZNAN.

Sounds, which do not exist in Latin, are designated by letterslogether with diacritical marks as well as by digraphs. The followingdiacritical 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 6reflects its former pronunciation (a sound between o and M).

In consonants, accents over c, n, s and i represent palatal soundsand are written before a consonant letter, e.g. Srem or at the word-final position, e.g. Poznan. Their palatalization before vowels ismarked by the letter i, e.g. Siedlce.

A dot over z represents a postalveolar consonant, as oppose to adental z.

The oblique line crossing / represents a dental sound (as opposeto alveolar /), which tends to disappear (see Pronunciation Table) andis 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 alphabeticalorder, e.g. ch is placed between c% and ci, cz between cy and drespectively.

Below is the list of Polish letters and digraphs together withtheir basic phonetic equivalents in international transcription. Theseexamples refer both to generic terms and geographic names.

Basic Rules of Polish Spelling

Polish spelling originated during the Middle Ages. It was thenmodified and improved over the next few centuries. Current Polishspelling is based on the rules codified in 1936 with a fe\rchanges.

The following rules apply to the Polish spelling (whichsometimes are in conflict with each other):

- the phonetic rule, stating that each voice should berepresented by a unique letter as in dom, las, woda,

- the morphological rule, stating that a link between differentforms of one word or its derivatives should be maintained despite thefact that their current pronunciation may differ e.g. prog. gen. sgprogu. bar sg, bory pi,

- the historic rule, which maintains different orthography ofsounds 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 thesephonemes are represented by particular letters or b\rcombinations. A single letter can correspond to more than one-phoneme variants, and also two separate letters can represent the same

11

phoneme (e.g. ch - h, rz - z). In particular the rules refer to thepronunciation of nasal vowels and voiced consonants.

The rules of Polish pronunciation can be found in dictionariese.g. in ' Slownik wymowy polskiej' (Dictionary of PolishPronunciation), edited by M. Karas, M. Madejowa, Warszawa 1977or 'Podr^czny slownik poprawnej wymowy polskiej' (CompactDictionary 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 inspelling dictionaries. The most comprehensive of these is the 'Nowyslownik 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 usefulsource of information on geographic names (declension and formationof adjectives).

Cap i ta l i za t ion

Both one-word and multiword geographic names are writtenwith a capital letter in Polish, e.g. Tatry, Przemysl. Wigry. DqbrowaGornicza, Dolny Slqsk, Wielki Sta\v, Na Klesniskach, U Wierzbki.Prepositions which are not components of a geographic name are notcapitalized 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 geographicname, e.g. miasto Lodz, rzeka Wisla,jezioro Goplo (but Nowe Miasto,Stara Rzeka).

14

Also, adjectives formed from geographic names are written with smallletters, e.g. tatrzanski, przemyski, dqbrowski, nakielski, unless they arecomponents of a geographic name e.g. Makow Mazowiecki. WyzynaMalopohka, Jezioro Rajgrodzkie.

Certain adjectives are formed in a way differing from thepattern: e.g. the adjective formed from the name of Kolno has the formkolnenski; similarly Krosno - krosnienski and K^pno - k^pinski(without -e-), whereas regularly formed adjectives from the namesending with -no have the form ending with the formant -eriski: e.g.Wilno - wilenski, Grodno - grodzienski, Grzybno - grzvhienski,Slawno - slawienski, Mogilno - mogilenski. Also, the followingirregularly 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.

Hyphen Use

The hyphen is used only in the case of names composed of twopreviously existing names, e.g. Bielsko-Biata, Skarzysko-Kumienna,Kanal ll'ieprz-Krzna.

Also, two equivalent elements of a multiword adjectivalgeographic name are also divided by a hyphen, e.g. WyzynaKrako\rsko-Cz%stochowska, Pojezierze Chelminsko-Dobrzynskic.

S p e l l i n g of Adjectives formedfrom Mult iword Geographic Names

a. Adjectives formed from two-word geographic names are spelledas a single word if a noun exists in a name, e.g. nowomie/ski fromNowe Miasto. dolnoslqski from Dolny Slq.sk, zdunskowolski fromZdunska Wola and also zachodniopomorski from Pomorze Zuchodnie,and srodziemnomorski from Morze Srodziemne.

b. In certain cases adjectives are formed only from the nounal partof such names, e.g. opolski from Opole Lubehkie, sredzki from SrodaSlqska. s^polenski from Sqpolno Krajenskie.

15

c. Adjectives formed from two-word geographic names spelledwith a hyphen are also spelled with a hyphen, e.g.golubsko-dobrzynski from Golub-Dobrzyn, k^dzierzymko-kozielskifrom Kiidzierzyn-Kozle.

d. Adjectives formed from two independent geographic names arespelled with a hyphen, e.g. strzelecko-drezdenecki from Sirzelce(Krajemkie) and Drezdenko, warminsko-mazurski from Wcirmia andMazitry.

3. Dialects of Polish

The Polish-speaking area is traditionally divided into fivedialectal groups: Kaszubski (Kashubian), Malopolski, Mazowiecki(Mazovian), Slajski (Silesian), and Wielkopolski. In recent researchalso two dialects spoken in the Polish-Lithuanian, Polish-Belorussianand Polish-Ukrainian borderlands are discerned. These are calledPolnocnokresowy and Pomdniowokresowy - (of northern andsouthern borderland). It is spoken not only by the inhabitants of theseareas, but also by people who moved to the northeastern part of thecountry after the World War II. The younger generations usuallyspeak mixed dialects. The only dialectal features given below arethose reflected in geographic names.

Kashubian dialect, sometimes considered a separate language,closely related to Polish. It is spoken in a small area of northernPoland in Pomorskie Voivodship. Archaic forms of names likeStarogard, Karwina are unique to Kashubian (Starogrod and Knnvinain the remaining areas).

Malopolski dialect occupies the largest part of Poland. It ischaracterized by geminate [s], [$] (e.g. Ossolin). The [xv] group ischanged to [/"], e.g. Falejowka from former Chwalejowka.

Silesian dialect is characterized, among others, by thepronunciation of former long a as o, e.g. Zory instead ofZciry.

In the Wielkopolski dialect we note the difference between thesuffixes of -ov- (after a hard consonant) and -ev- (after a formerlypalatalized consonants), e.g. Wilkowo, but Kowalewo.

Mazovian dialect changes the [xv] group to [/], e.g. Falenicafrom former Chwalenica and also -ar- to -er-, e.g. [tertak] 'lurluk'.

16

Kresowe (borderland) dialects are characterized by the semi-palatal pronunciation of [f,], [z,], [19,], with a stronger stress, whichcauses a prolonged pronunciation of the stressed syllable and a partialreduction of unstressed vowels. These features are not reflected in thespelling of geographical names.

Certain features are characteristic of areas larger than the area ofa single dialect, e. g. the change of ra-,ja- into re-, je- (characteristicof the northern part of the country). These features are reflected incertain geographic names (compare Zory in Silesia and Zuryelsewhere, Dqbrowno in Kujawy and Dqbrowno in southern Poland,Redlowo in northern Poland and Radlow elsewhere, Plexzew inWielkopolska and Ptaszow in Malopolska).

4. Origin of Geographical Names in Poland

The oldest geographic names in Poland are from pre-Polishperiod. These are usually names of large objects like mountain ranges(Sudety. Karpaty), rivers (Wisla, Odrd). Lake and river names innortheastern Poland usually have Baltic origin (Prussian. Yuivingian,Lithuanian), e.g. Mamry, Pregola. However, these old names are notvery frequent.

The majority of geographic names in Polish lands are eitherthose 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 beingthe old polish or dialectal appellative. The most common examplesinclude:

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 UkrainianL^dziny from l^do 'arable land'Mogilno from mogila 'hill', compare Magura belowOstrow 'island'Sopot "spring'Szczyrk 'type of soil'Trzemeszno from trzemcha 'bird cherry'Uscie. Ustka, etc. ujscie, Old Polish uscie (dualis. i.e the Ibrmerlyused dual rmmber).

Some geographic names, especially in borderland, are of foreignorigin. The majority is of German origin, which is a result of theformer language neighbourhood and also of German settlers comingto the Polish lands since the Middle Ages. Also, German namesappeared in western and southern Polish lands after the fall of Polandin the late 18th century, when Prussia and Austria annexed significantareas of the former Poland. These areas belonged to Prussia andAustria until the end of the World War I.

Besides the original names, also a number of names establishedby authorities, which were not used by inhabitants of these areas, canbe found on maps published during this time. During the Nazioccupation a large number of Polish geographic names was changedto German (e.g. Oswi^cim to Auschwitz).

Names of German origin (e.g. Olsztyri) are also common innortheastern 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 geographicnames (e.g. Rychwald, Szymbark, Czorsztyn. compare the Germannames - Wald, Burg, Stein), and also in Germanized spellings offormer Slavic names (e.g. Opole - Oppeln, Wroclaw - Breslau}.

In borderlands many names originate from the neighbouringlanguages, e.g. Eastern Slavic forms exist along the eastern border(e.g. villages Berezka, Czystohorb, Dubow), Czech and Slovak ones insouthern part of the country (e.g. rivers Slanica, Mutnik. Brunica). Anumber of Romanian names (e.g. Mlaka, Magura, Kiczeru) can befound 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).

II. GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES STANDARDIZATIONIN POLAND

1. History and Organization of the GeographicalNames Standardization

Collection and standardization of geographic names has a longtradition in Poland. It can be traced back to the 18th century, whenfirst maps and gazetteers covering the whole country or its large partswere published.

On the turn of the 19th century fifteen volumes of the "Slownikgeograficzny Krolestwa Polskiego' (Geographic Dictionar\f theKingdom of Poland) appeared in print. It listed a very large number ofnames of villages, towns, rivers, mountains and lakes. Also the entriesof that dictionary contained the first attempt to standardize Polishgeographic names.

When Poland regained independence in 1918. it becamenecessary to standardize geographic names of objects in areasformerly annexed by Prussia, Austria and Russia. It resulted in a newsystematic approach to these issues. Therefore, two editions of officialgazetteers were published during that time. Also first researchactivities on toponyms were initiated.

After the World War II it became vital to standardize geographicnames, and to establish new names on large areas. The Commissionfor Establishing Names of Localities and Physiographic Objects,which was established before the World War II, was reestablishedshortly after the war. The Commission underwent severalorganizational changes. It currently is a part of the Ministrx of theInterior and Administration.

The activities of the Commission resulted in publication of thelists of standardized names such as 'Slownik nazw geograficznychPolski 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 iobiektow fizjograficznych' (Official Names of Localities andPhysiographic Objects), 197 volumes published before 1974containing lists of geographic names covering half of the country -each volume covered a separate county), and also 'Wykazurz?do\\ych nazw miejscowosci w Polsce' (Index of Official Namesof Localities in Poland), published in 1982 (about 100,000 names).

The UN recommendation to publish national gazetteers gaverise to the new activities in this field. In late 1970s the Head Office ofGeodesy and Cartography initiated a project aiming at the preparationof such a gazetteer in Poland. It was published in 1991. The ' Nazwygeograficzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Geographical names of theRepublic of Poland) contained a selection of 30.000 place namesbased on a l:500,000-scale map. The names were standardized by theKomisja Ustalania Nazw Miejscowosci i Obiektow Fizjograficznych(Commission for Establishing Names of Localities and PhysiographicObjects).

Owing to the procedure of the Commission's activities, only asmall 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, anumber of linguistic monographs on different kinds of geographicnames appeared in print.

It is estimated that about 1 million names are yet to bestandardized. These are especially names of hamlets, streams, hills,parts of lakes and the like. Small part of these names can be found inthe already existing databases.

In the early 1970s the Komisja Standaryzacji NazwGeograficznych poza Granicami Polski (Commission forStandardization of Geographical Names Outside Poland) wasestablished. It is responsible for the collection and standardization offoreign geographic names. It prepared a 4-volume 'Polskie nazwygeograficzne swiata' (Polish Geographic Names of Foreign Areas)(1994-96) and also several other publications: 'The Polish ToponymicGuidelines' (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 geographicalnames) (1998), and Toponymic Guidelines of Poland for Map Editorsand Other Users'(1999).

2. Rules of the Standardization of Geographical Names

When standardizing geographic names it is vital to collectsources 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 areregulated by the act of 1948 (no. 36, act 251) recently amended in1990 - 'Dziennik Ustaw Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej" 1990. no. 34. act198. A new act on geographic and place names is currently beinglegislated. 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 leastevery ten years and the official index of names ofphysiographic objects at least every twenty years.

3. Geographical Names Authorities

There is no separate agency with legal responsibility forstandardizing geographic names in Poland. However, there areadvisor) boards responsible for preparation of projects onstandardization issues. These are Commission for Establishing Namesof Localities and Physiographic Objects and Commission forStandardization of Geographical Names outside Poland.

The legal responsibility for approving geographic and placenames is vested in appropriate state authority.

Komisja Ustalania Nazw Miejscowosci i ObiektowFizjograficznych (Commission for Establishing Names of Localitiesand Physiographic Objects) at the Ministry of the Interior andAdministration advises on standardizing of geographic and placenames as well as on changes of their spelling and pronunciation.

III. SOURCES

1. Maps and Atlases

Medium- and large-scale topographic and administrative mapsavailable currently in Poland have been edited and published by bothnational surveying and mapping authorities and the Polish ArmyTopographic 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

- 1:750,000 Rzeczpospolita Polska. Mapa administracyjna(Republic of Poland. Administrative Map), published byGlowny Geodeta Kraju (Surveyor General of Poland),Warszawa 1999.

Geographic names on 1:500,000 and 1: 750,000-scale maps areconsistent with the list of names in 'Nazwy geograficzneRzeczypospolitej Polskiej' (Geographical Names of the Republic ofPoland). The names contained therein are standardized.

The following map series have been published by the PolishArmy Topographic Service:
