The Polish language in Chicago

This is a picture of a subway ticket machine in Chicago with Polish as a language option. “Poles in Chicago are made up of both immigrant Poles and Americans of Polish heritage living in Chicago, Illinois. They are a part of worldwide Polonia, the Polish term for the Polish Diaspora outside of Poland.” “Polish Americans now made up 6.7% of Chicago's population, and numbered at 182,064.[5] Polish is the third most widely spoken language in Chicago behind English and Spanish.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poles_in_Chicago#:~:text=Polish%20Americans%20now%20made%20up,Chicago%20behind%20English%20and%20Spanish. -----------
