Topic: Orthography



  
 A new orthography.
Therefore an orthography that does not distinguish /pating/ and /pading/ would be no simpler for Americans, while it would be much less satisfactory for other speakers of English.
The traditional English orthography is an unnecessary and unacceptable obstacle for children learning to read, write, and speak English.
The traditional pronunciation - that which preserves the rimes, metre, alliteration, and puns of English literature - may be the most acceptable basis for an orthography.

 ORTHOGRAPHY
Or try to convince Germans to restore the pre-Lutheran orthography, and the Russians to restore their old orthography, explaining to them that after the spelling reform in 1918 (also initiated by the Bolshevik government) they lost the spirit of their epics.
Let those who advocate classical orthography tell Italians: you break ties with your glorious Roman past, and in the name of restoration, adopt the Latin orthography.
A considerable part of Diasporan Armenians, at least those whose active language is English or French, find it quite natural that there is no unequivocal interconnection between the way a word is written and pronounced.

 Qur'anic Orthography: The Written Representation Of The Recited Text Of The Qur'an
Indeed, some argued that there was no reason that it should be written in an orthography that is not used for writing any other book of the time.
Desire to facilitate the reading and learning of the Qur'ān to each generation according to their contemporary orthography is an argument non-traditionalists have always repeated.
Do not pay attention to what some stupid people think that the companions of the Prophet were masters of the craft of writing and what we find in their writing different from systematic orthography is not actually as we imagine but there is an explanation and wisdom behind it.

 Orthography
In the Omaha-Ponca texts I include on line, the LaFlesche Orthography is used, except that s and z are distinguished as s and z.
In the LaFlesche Orthography the c-cedilla represents the Omaha-Ponca /s/ and /z/ phonemes.
Two hallmarks of the LaFlesche system are the use of c-cedilla to write the s and z phonemes, and the use of a following superscript n to represent vowel nasality.

 Webster Language
The English would never copy our orthography for their own use; and consequently the same impressions of books would not answer for both countries.
Besides this advantage, foreigners would be able to acquire the pronunciation of English, which is now so difficult and embarrassing, that they are either wholly discouraged on the first attempt, or obliged, after many years labor, to rest contented with an imperfect knowledge of the subject.
This would save a page in eighteen; and a saving of an eighteenth in the expense of books, is an advantage that should not be overlooked.

 Zhyler Orthography
Another interesting facet of the Zhyler writing system is that, though it's written from left to right, like English, the punctuation comes first, and a capital letter comes at the end of a sentence, or, for proper nouns, at the end of a word.
Although the shocking lack of unicode characters which would accomodate my personal fonts forces me to use a Romanization system for Zhyler when it has a perfectly good orthography of its own, I can still introduce you to the orthography, thanks to my good friend Gif.
No orthography on Earth does this, I'm afraid.

 IIALC 1930, Practical Orthography of African Languages
The change from mother tongue to another language may not be very difficult for the Negro, because of his linguistic ability and because the two languages are generally closely related, and their construction, grammar, idiom, and vocabulary are often very similar.
This means that whenever two words are distinguished in sound they must also be distinguished in orthography.

 Guide to Orthography
By contrast, the contemporary practical orthography used in this edition allows small changes to Roman alphabet characters, and combinations of these characters, to represent those sound distinctions in the Apache language which are not found in English.
For those interested in a more detailed comparison between Hoijer's orthography and the one employed here, and a discussion of the Apache 'u', there will be a subheading "Orthography and Apache Phonemes" under "Changes to this Edition" (still under construction) from the main title page.
For this electronic edition, Hoijer's original 1938 orthography has been converted the new 'practical orthography' which is used for writing many of the Apachean languages today.

 English orthography : Spelling
However, studies have shown that dyslexia occurs more often among speakers of languages such as English whose orthography differs heavily from the phonology than speakers of languages such as Finnish or Italian where the letter-sound correspondence is more regular (see: PISA report[?]).
English had also borrowed large numbers of words from French, which for reasons of prestige and familiarity kept their French spellings.
The first is that the admirably consistent orthography of Old English was swept away by the Norman Conquest, and English itself was eclipsed by French for three centuries, eventually emerging with its spelling much influenced by French.

 Adelbert von Chamisso and botanical orthography
This illustrates the minute details and ambiguities of orthography, which can be highly annoying to taxonomists who try to follow the rules and stabilize the Latin names of plants.
In keeping with the principle that each taxonomically defined group (a family, genus, species, etc.) ought to have only one "correct" Latin name, it is logical that each name ought to have only one "correct" spelling.
The term orthography, as used in botanical nomenclature, refers to the spelling and grammatical form of the Latin scientific names of plants.

Mark Twain took some literary license in his chautauqua speech.
This effect has already taken place in our own language: letters, the most useful invention that ever blessed mankind, have lost and continue to lose a part of their value, by no longer being the representatives of the sounds originally annext to them.

 Spelling Reform
However, one cannot help but imagine how different the last quarter of a millennium would have been if, in that same Preface, he had noted the unnatural and unnecessary divide between written and spoken English, and called on those who cared for the language to close the gap.
This argument is, of course, a red herring.
erhaps the most common defense of the traditional orthography of English is that the spelling is supposed to reflect the etymologies of the words, and so gives useful clues to their meanings.

A phonemic orthography is a writing system where there is a one-to-one relationship between graphemes in the written form and phonemes in the spoken form of a language.
A phonemic orthography represents phonemes, the sounds distinguished by speakers of the language and used to differentiate words (e.g.
Note that phonemic orthographies are different from phonetic orthographies; whereas in a phonemic orthography, allophones will be represented by the same grapheme, a phonetic orthography demands, by its very nature, that the phonetically distinct allophones be written as such.
