About Talking Books

Human Beings have long had an oral tradition. We used to sit around the campfire listening to stories. Children love having stories read to them. Talking Books are in that oral tradition. More than that you can listen to talking books when you are doing something else. Many people get terribly car sick (well car sick, bus sick, plane sick...any kind of motion sick), and for them there is no way to read a book while in a car or a bus (or anything moving). A talking book is fantastic on along car/bus/plane/boat journey. The time flies as you are taken away on an imaginary journey that is just like reading (except you can keep you eyes closed)

Talking Books are great when you are doing boring things. When you do the vacuuming, cleaning the house .... Take a talking book while you do the gardening, taking a walk ..

Talking Books are great for children on long car trips, boys (its usually boys) who don't like to read - get them to listen to an adventure Talking Book and they will be hooked. - Good for older people with failing eyesight. Sitting in hospital, or recuperating from an illness can be much more enjoyable listening to a Talking Book.

Truck Drivers and other long distance drivers often use Talking Books for fatigue management. Its a great way to keep you alert and attentive on a long drive.

Talking Books can give you a different perspective.

For example listening to an Talking Book Bible can be totally different to reading the Bible. Some Bible Talking Books are voiced with multiple actors voices giving the Bible a theatrical feeling. Some other Talking Books have been recorded with multiple voices - BBC Lord of the Rings, the Star Wars Trilogy, the New "Dune" AudioBook. These Talking Books become more like movie versions of books than standard Audio Books.

About the Polish Language

Polish, an official language of Poland, has the largest number of speakers of any West Slavic language. Polish is spoken in a uniform manner through most of Poland, and has a regular orthography. The language developed indigenously and retains many ancient Slavic features of pronunciation and grammar. Although the Polish language was suppressed by occupying powers during some historical periods, a rich literature has nonetheless developed over the centuries, and many works by Polish authors are available in translations in English and other languages.

Polish is mainly spoken in Poland. Poland is one of the most homogeneous European countries with regard to its mother tongue; nearly 97% of Poland's citizens declare Polish as their mother tongue, due to World War II, after which Poland was forced to change its borders, which resulted in various migrations (German expulsions, Operation Wisła). After the Second World War the previously Polish territories annexed by the USSR retained a large amount of the Polish population that was unwilling or unable to migrate toward the post-1945 Poland, and even today ethnic Poles constitute large minorities in Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine. Polish is by far the most widely used minority language in Lithuania's Vilnius County (26% of the population, according to the 2001 census results), and it is also present in other counties. In Ukraine, Polish is most often used in the Lviv and Lutsk regions. Western Belarus has an important Polish minority, especially in the Brest and Grodno regions. There are also significant numbers of Polish speakers in Argentina, Andorra, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Peru, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine, UAE, the UK, Uruguay and the United States.

In the United States, Polish Americans number more than 11 million but most of them cannot speak Polish fluently. According to the United States 2000 Census, 667,414 Americans of age 5 years and over reported Polish as the language spoken at home, which is about 1.4% of people who speak languages other than English or 0.25% of the U.S. population. The largest concentrations of Polish speakers reported in the census (over 50%) were found in three states: Illinois (185,749), New York (111,740) and New Jersey (74,663). In Canada, there is a signifcant Polish Canadian population and there are 242,885 speakers of Polish according to the most recent census in 2006 with a particular concentration in the city of Toronto, Ontario (91,810 speakers).

The Polish language became far more homogeneous in the second half of the 20th century, in part due to the mass migration of several million Polish citizens from the eastern to the western part of the country after the east was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1939, during World War II. "Standard" Polish is still spoken somewhat differently in different regions of the country, although the differences between these broad "dialects" are slight. There is never any difficulty in mutual understanding, and non-native speakers are generally unable to distinguish among them easily. The differences are slight compared to different dialects of English, for example. The regional differences correspond mainly to old tribal divisions from around a thousand years ago; the most significant of these are in terms of numbers of speakers are Great Polish (spoken in the west), Lesser Polish (spoken in the south and southeast), Mazovian (Mazur) spoken throughout the central and eastern parts of the country, and Silesian spoken in the southwest. Mazovian shares some features with the Kashubian language (see below).

Mazovian shares some features with the Kashubian language (see below). Several speeches were often classified as dialects of the Polish language in the past, while in modern times they are more often referred to as separate languages. This is particularly true to Kashubian language, which until recently was considered a local variety of Polish language. Some authors in the 19th century (Shtritter, Linde, Wisniewski), preceding the works of Karskiy, suggested the Belarusian language, whether in the 19th century form or in the Medieval literary form, to be the dialect of Polish language. The concepts of Belarusian language not being a linguistical entity in its own right and of Belarusians not being a nation, were employed in times of the 1919-1920 Polish-Soviet war and, later, in the national policies of the Second Rzeczpospolita. Finally, some modern scholars argue that the Silesian language is in fact a separate speech. In the Polish census of 2002 over 56,000 people declared Silesian as their native language.
