The Polish language is spoken by about 43 million people, most of whom (36.5 million) live in Poland, where it is the official language. Another 2.5 million live in the United States, 1 million in Ukraine, and 100,000 or fewer in each of the following countries: Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, and Slovakia. Lesser numbers are found in Australia and Romania.

Polish is a Slavic (or Slavonic) language and belongs to the West Slavic subgroup, which also includes Czech, Slovak, Cassubian (or Kashubian; spoken in the Baltic coast region in northern Poland), Sorbian (Saxony and Brandenburg, Germany), and Polabian, now extinct.
