Polish was once the Lingua franca or language of commerce in Europe. Polish has been influenced by a variety of foreign languages, particularly German and French. Originally a branch of one of the three Lechitic languages - Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, and Vorpommern - Polish is spoken in Central Europe and derives from the Western Slavic languages. The West Slavic languages are themselves a subdivision of the Slavic language group that includes Czech, Slovak, and Sorbian. Around 9 million US immigrants speak polish and 38 million Poles themselves.
