What Changes with the New Orthographic Agreement - Evanildo Bechara
A Comprehensive Guide to the Revised Portuguese Language
The Portuguese language is a beautiful and complex language, with a rich history and a vast vocabulary. However, it can also be a challenging language to learn, especially for those who are not native speakers. One of the biggest challenges is the orthography, which is the system of spelling and punctuation.
The Portuguese orthography has undergone several changes over the years, and the most recent change was made in 2009 with the signing of the New Orthographic Agreement. This agreement was signed by representatives from all Portuguese-speaking countries, and it introduced a number of changes to the way Portuguese is spelled and punctuated.
The Changes Introduced by the New Orthographic Agreement
The New Orthographic Agreement introduced a number of changes to the Portuguese language, including:
- The elimination of the trema. The trema is a diacritical mark that is placed over the letter "u" to indicate that it should be pronounced as a separate syllable. For example, the word "lingüiça" would be spelled "linguiça" under the New Orthographic Agreement.
- The simplification of the spelling of certain words. Some words that were previously spelled with a hyphen are now spelled without a hyphen. For example, the word "auto-escola" would be spelled "autoescola" under the New Orthographic Agreement.
- The addition of new words to the dictionary. The New Orthographic Agreement added a number of new words to the Portuguese dictionary, including words that have been borrowed from other languages and words that have been created recently.
The Impact of the New Orthographic Agreement
The New Orthographic Agreement has had a significant impact on the Portuguese language. It has made the language easier to learn and more consistent, and it has also helped to promote the unity of the Portuguese-speaking world.
