Alternative Insubric orthographies

This is a prospect of Insubric language orthographies others than the classical Milanese one.

Comasca

Alternative orthography of the city of Como and suburbs, used by the academy Famiglia Comasca.

Overriding differences in pronunciation and grammar, the orthography differences with the classical Milanese orthography are:

  • sound /y/ is written ü, not u
  • sound /u/ is written u, not o
  • sound /œ/ is written ö, not oeu
  • long vowels are always written as double
  • there is a different use of accents (but not circumflex one)
  • zz is often used
  • article i ("the", plural) is written j when followed by vowel

Lecchese

The most used alternative orthography in Lecco and suburbs is:

(overriding differences in pronunciation and grammar)

  • sound /y/ is written ü, not u
  • sound /u/ is written u, not o
  • sound /œ/ is written ö, not oeu
  • long vowels are written with the circumflex accent
  • the other accents, on tonic syllables, are always used
  • final voiced consonants are written as voiceless (like they actually are in pronunciation), except ambiguities

gollark: I found out that its telnet interface was horribly secured, so I got root access and poked around.
gollark: Actually, come to think of it, I have that one ADSL modem/router which is unused which might be running BSD.
