Portuguese Orthographic Reform of 1911
Initiative to standardise and simplify the writing of Portuguese / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orthographic Reform of 1911 was an initiative to standardize and simplify the writing of the Portuguese language in Portugal in 1911.
Having the force of law in Portugal and having been made due to the establishment of the republic in an attempt to distance the monarchy from the people, this reform completely changed the appearance of the written language and indirectly led to all subsequent orthographic reforms/agreements.
