Sirs, colleagues, friends,
this mail to remember you about "Standard Padanian Orthography (SPO)"
Standard Padanian Orthography has been constructed in the same spirit as the 'Classical' ones for Catalan (Fabra [1918]) and Occitan (see e.g. Bee [1970]), Stich's for Francoprovençal (Stich [1998]), and Hull's UPO (Unified Padanian Orthography, Hull [1982, XXXII]). It is a natural evolution of ORS orthography [Meneghin, 2007].
Because of the greater proximity of Padanian to French, many devices of current French orthography have been implemented as well. Thus, SPO orthography is morphophonemic, (the actual phonetic realisation of a grapheme will in general depend upon the context in which it lies, see e.g. Venetzky [1999], Vachek [1959]), in the belief that properly reconstructing a prestigious written language will help Padanian writers (and speakers) to get free from the present sentiment of subordination to the Italian language.
It is wortwhile to remark that this orthography is similar to that of a classical text of the Padanian literature, the Subalpine Sermons.
Thank you.
