Middle Polish (modern Polish: język średniopolski) is a name used to describe the period in the history of the Polish language between 16th and 18th centuries. It evolved from the Old Polish language, and gave rise to the Modern Polish.[1]

In 16th century Jan Kochanowski proposed a set of orthographic rules and an alphabet of 48 letters and digraphs: a á à ą b b' c ć cz d dz dź dż é è ę f g h ch i j k l ł m m' n ń o ó p p' q r rz s ś sz t u v w w' x y z zz ź ż ż.

Letters ç, θ, θ´, θ˙, ŗ, σ, ß corresponded to Modern Polish cz, dz, , , rz, ś, sz, respectively.
