v

Did you know?
- In historical Polish manuscripts, the letter v was sometimes used interchangeably with u, following old Latin orthography before the modern Polish alphabet was standardized.
- In Polish, the sound of 'v' is represented by the letter w, meaning a Polish person might spell the English name 'Victor' as Wiktor.
- The absence of v in the official Polish alphabet means that dictionaries of the Polish language do not have a section for this letter.
