How many letters are there in the Polish alphabet?
There are 32 letters in the Polish alphabet: 9 vowels and 23 consonants.
The Polish alphabet is the script of the Polish language, the basis for the Polish system of orthography. It is based on the Latin alphabet but includes certain letters with diacritics: the kreska or acute accent (ć, ń, ó, ś, ź); the overdot or kropka (ż); the tail or ogonek (ą, ę); and the stroke (ł). The letters q, v and x, which are used only in foreign words, are frequently not considered part of the Polish alphabet. However, prior to the standardization of the Polish language, the letter "x" was sometimes used in place of "ks".

I knew it was a lot more than our alphabet as I used to work with a Polish nurse and recall her telling me, but could not remember the actual number so I went for the highest and got it right
