Joel of Far Outliers has posted some excerpts of Mikołaj Gliński’s contribution to a newsletter from Culture.pl, How much Polish is there in Esperanto?

And it’s actually these two languages that make up the 1% of Slavic in Esperanto vocabulary.
The problem is that sometimes identifying the original language is very hard if not simply impossible.
