Summary/Abstract: The article presents a new proposal for the phonological system of the contemporary Polish language. This is not a fully original proposal, as it refers to the works of Roman Laskowski (1978/1999) and Marek Wiśniewski (1997) in many of its decisions. The main premise was to ensure that the distinct phonological units were functionally significant and, to a greater extent than in previous descriptions, reflected contemporary pro- nunciation and the changes occurring in it. In the inventory of phonemes, /kʹ/, /gʹ/, /i̯͂ / and /ł/ were not noted. Issues with creating oppositions suggest that future research should carefully monitor processes related to the realization of such groups as kie, gie, ńs, ńc, nk. At the same time, these issues prove how necessary cur- rent studies in the field of orthoepy are.
