About

Orthography is the academic field dedicated to the study and analysis of the conventional systems used for writing a language. It investigates the principles and rules governing spelling, the relationship between phonological units and their graphic representations (graphemes), and the historical development and social function of written language forms. Its significance lies in understanding the structure of written communication, informing literacy practices, and analyzing the complex relationship between spoken and written language modalities.
