Language subtag registration for ao1990

[João Miguel Neves]

Hi,

Do I need to submit a new form with acor1990 instead of ao1990 to the list?

Yes, from the CPLP (Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries) only
Mozambique and Angola haven't ratified the agreement yet. The second
protocol of changes to the agreement allowed for effectiveness of the
agreement once 3 countries ratified it. That was reached in 2006, but
implementation was delayed until Portugal ratified the second protocol,
which happened in 2008.

Regarding the changes, the best resource I know is:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/pt/wiki/Anexo:Lista_das_altera%C3%A7%C3%B5es_previstas_pelo_acordo_ortogr%C3%A1fico_de_1990#O_que_muda_em_Portugal_e_nos_restantes_pa.C3.ADses_lus.C3.B3fonos

The changes for Portuguese from Portugal are:

1) Dropping silent consonants (ex: acção -> ação);

2) Use of lowercase for month names, cardinal points and season names
(ex: Janeiros -> janeiro);

3) Dropped the hyphen from the usage of verbo haver followed by a
preposition (ex: hei-de -> hei de);

4) Dropped accents from some words (ex: jóia -> joia, lêem -> leem);

5) Dropped hyphens in some words (ex: anti-semita -> antisemita,
pára-choque -> parachoque, dia-a-dia -> dia a dia);

6) Introduced the hyphen in some words (ex: microondas -> micro-ondas);

7) recognition that some words have more than one way to be written and
that both are valid (ex: amígdala, amídala).

Sorry for any incorrection in terms and the lack of proper vocabulary,
but I'm far from a grammar specialist.

Thanks in advance,
João Miguel Neves
