<br>
Yes, abl1943 was Brazil's first official orthographic reform. It crystallised most of what we now recognise as Brazilian Portuguese. The preparation work was really interesting: a collection of a lot of the variants existing throughout that huge country. As colb1945 came mostly from the Portuguese reform of 1911, it was seen by some as a loss of independence towards Portugal. It ended up being adopted in 1971. That didn't remove some of the choices made with abl1943, but made both countries' Portuguese closer.<br>
<br>
Best regards, <br>

From that point on the official<br /> language becomes pt-BR-colb1945.<br /><br /> My recommendations for prefixes are either:<br /><br /> abl1943: pt-BR<br /> colb1945: pt<br /> ao1990: pt<br /></blockquote><br />I agree with that.<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
