Re: [OT] o-circumflex/Spanish sorting
I received a private email stating that that "ch" and "ll" were abolished by the 10th Congress of the 12 academies of the various Spanish speaking countries in 1994, not just the RAE. (There are, in addition to the obvious, also academies for Puerto Rico, North America and the Phillipines.) However, it was also my understanding that the modern sort wasn't accepted outside of Spain, but it's never been clear to me if this is just a matter of popular or academic opinion, or if there has been formal resistance as well. Now I wonder if the various academies have the same authority in their country that the Royal Academy has in Spain, or if there are other national standards bodies with which they compete or cooperate. - David Gallardo - Original Message - From: "Tex Texin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Gallardo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 2:15 AM Subject: Re: [OT] o-circumflex/Spanish sorting > David, > I also don't know if the other countries have academies, but my > understanding is Latin American countries haven't accepted the modern > sort.

Yes, foreigners call our cities many strange things:-) København is called Köpenhamn, Copenhagen, Kobenhagen, Copenhague, and many more. Helsingør is called Elsinore. Well, Ålborg is sometimes spelled Ålborg, but the official spelling, as defined by zip and postal addresses is 9100 Aalborg, and the kommune is called Aalborg kommune, viz www.aalborg.dk . Århus is however almost always spelled Århus in Danish. Kind regards Keld
