Greenpoint in Brooklyn remains the anchor of Polish New York, with Ridgewood and Maspeth in Queens and a significant community in Copiague and other parts of Long Island.
Polish is grammatically dense — seven cases, and verb forms that encode gender and aspect — and word order is flexible in ways English is not. A literal word-order rendering produces transcripts that read as confused when the witness was perfectly clear. Interpreters need to restructure faithfully rather than transliterate.
Polish surnames also carry gendered endings, which regularly produces mismatches between a spouse’s documents in a case file.
