!doctype html public '-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en'>For decades, the voicing system of Polish has been at the center of a heated theoretical debate concerning laryngeal phonology as it features a number of phenomena, such as Final Obstruent Devoicing, Regressive Voice Assimilation, Progressive Voice Assimilation, dialectally distributed external sandhi voicing in pre-sonorant context, and other instances of special behaviour of sonorants, leading to interesting cases of variation.
