Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the problems related to the sound realisation of the so-called nasal sounds,that is leƩ ers ą and ę, as well as the diff erences in the phonological interpretation of thoserealisations. The issue has been repeatedly raised by linguists (e.g. Zarembina 1963; Retz 1979ab;Dunaj 1991; Sawicka 1995; Nagórkti1998; Szpyra-Kozłowska 2002, and others), which proves itscomplexity and difficulty. The leƩ ers ą and ę can be pronounced in various ways depending ontheir neighbourhood (that is other leƩ ers that follow them), which causes problems in Polishlanguage didactics and in the process of teaching of the correct Polish language pronunciation(especially when it comes to teaching Polish pronunciation to foreigners). The article mentionsthe methods and principles of the realisation of nasal sounds as well as inconsistencies in thephonological characteristics of the phenomenon. The article is an overview, as its aim is tocompare different suggestions for the phonological interpretation.
