None, but did Polish need it? I think you can't compare the situation
of a language in Africa with that of a language in Europe. The
question is, what would be the added value. Asking what we did with
other languages that did not need it sounds ridiculous to me, sorry
(at least your other arguments make *some* sense... ).
