+ This space is aimed at helping people with getting familiarized with Polish. Polish language uses a lot of character combinations which is unfamiliar to non-Poles, thus
14
+ making it harder to read, even though it employs a modified Latin script for writing.
15
+
16
+ For example, the Polish word Jarosław, an English speaker who isn't familiar with Polish orthography will pronounce it as Jaroslav, while its actual Polish pronunciation
17
+ is Yaroswav. Similary, the city of Przemyśl should be pronounced as Pzhemyshl, even though its not evident to an English speaker.

+ The approach for transliterating Polish language taken in this space is converting Polish character combinations to Cyrillic equivalents, which are single characters, thus
20
+ simplifying our task greately.
