Are Polish People Slavic

Do Polish people count as Slavs?

Customarily, Slavs are subdivided into East Slavs (chiefly Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians), West Slavs (chiefly Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, and Wends, or Sorbs), and South Slavs (chiefly Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Slovenes, Macedonians, and Montenegrins).

Are Polish People Russian?

The full title to this misconception should be: Poles speak Russian only, or at least Polish is almost the same as Russian. The truth is that Poles speak Polish. However, Polish derives from the same linguistic group as Russian.
