Talk:Reforms of French orthography

message: Wasn't also a loss of the circumflex?
Quête -> quete; êtat -> etat
:Not to my knowledge. The official report goes on conserve l’accent circonflexe sur a, e, et o, mais sur i et sur u il n’est plus obligatoire... Removing the circumflex in <quête> would change it from /kE:t/ to /k@t/. As of <êtat>, it doesn't exist, I believe you meant <état> which is unchanged too because there is no problem with it: /eta/. --Valmi 18:44, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know why in the 1740 Académie française quote all the letters with an accent have been bolded? If there's no logical reason for that, I will unbold them. Hardouin 17:19, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Because in 1740 the Academy was approving of the existence of those diacritics for the first time. Actually the sole reason why this quote is interesting is to show the heavily reformed orthography. This is why I didn't even translate it into English. --Valmi ✒ 15:48, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Spelling reform and the Wikipedia

message: The "intro" to this page jumps right in with a bunch of technical jargon, and it's not clear at all what the big picture view of this subject is.  Obviously it's related to French language, and I might even know what the general subject is about, but there's no indication in the article as to what that might be.  I think it needs a clear, concise introduction that includes a general description of what "Reforms of French Orthography" is and how it fits into the world around us, without assuming prior technical knowledge on the part of the reader.  I found the page linked in an update to the French OOo language tools, and it was really uninformative to me as a lay reader.  --banzaimonkey (talk) 19:04, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I looked around for a sors of this quote but didnt find it. But i found wat seems to be the orijinal book on Google Books. I kant reed French tho, but perhaps somone kan chek the introduktion to see if the quote is ther or not.Deleet (talk) 01:28, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not the first edition of the dictionary, and the quote was not taken from the dictionary, but from another document published by the Académie. I have added a source. CapnPrep (talk) 15:11, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The French Wikipedia has a massive article on the orthography reforms of 1990 (See here). As far as I can tell, this Wikipedia doesn't have an independent article for this set of changes (although they are dealt with fairly thoroughly in this article). The French article contains more details about the changes themselves, as well as information about they are used in various francophone countries. I could translate the French article into a new article on the English Wikipedia if anyone thinks it would be worth it. I probably won't act without any further affirmation, and even if I do it will be a while, as it is quite a large article.
Thanks for your opinion,

message: There has been a separate article regarding these contents in several other languages including French, Russian, etc. Meanwhile, those pages as well as relevant pages on Wiktionary are connected on one Wikidata item. In the English article, too much has been written inside, which is much better to split the section into the separate article, whilst expanding the article according to the French version.The current version really needs to be completely renovated! I'll try my best to translate it from French with my limited French ability. -- UNITE TOGETHER, STRIVE FOR SURVIVAL! 03:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
