<pre>Hi.<br><br>Personally, I think these subtags [acor1971] and [acor1990] are o.k.<br><br>(Like Jose, I prefer subtags with the name acor as part of the name too, in the interest of transparency.)<br><br><br>Doug Ewell

> www.ewellic.org | www.facebook.com/doug.ewell | @DougEwell <br>My Portuguese is likewise limited.<br>It seems the orthography affects both vowels and consonants as far as I can tell.<br>According to the Wikipedia link below, accents or circonflexes may be used interchangeably on vowels in some instances?; <br>"ct" consonant combinations are also affected it seems, according to Wikipedia, "ct" and "c" are sometimes interchangeable?)<br>According to the document, geographic names are affected -- <br>foreign names such as Geneve are used in place of local ones such as Genebra;<br>other names may be affected too, including Biblical ones -- <br>in the pronuciation of final consonants in say "Job," <br>or "Cid" (in "El Cid"). Can someone verify this? <br>(I have not read much because my Portuguese is slow too . . . )<br><br>In the Wikipedia info, it looks like this is a compromise on orthographic conventions of the various countries listed<br>on the document as participants (Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guine Bissau, Mozambique, Sao Tomo, Portugal; <br>but Wikipedia says not all participants have ratified this 1990 agreement;<br>does this mean Angola & Mozambique have not done so yet? Does anyone have this info?); <br>see:<br>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Language_Orthographic_Agreement_of_1990<br>for Wikipedia's info.<br><br>(Eventually I'll look at the document in more depth to the best of my ability if someone else does not do so. . . )<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Best,<br><br>--C.
