Aragonese writing systems

Aragonese language has four different writing systems:

1. Huesca standards (Normas de Huesca).
2. SLA orthography (Grafía SLA).
3. Traditional Cheso orthography (Grafía tradicional chesa).
4. Academia de l'Aragonés orthography.

Huesca standards

Huesca standards, or Aragonese graphic standards, created after an agreement signed in Huesca on April 19, 1987; are a set of spelling conventions for Aragonese language agreed in the First Congress for the Standardization of Aragonese (I Congreso ta ra normalizazión de l'aragonés)

SLA orthography

SLA orthography is used by the Sociedat de Lingüistica Aragonesa.

Traditional Cheso orthography

This orthography is similar to Spanish orthography. It uses h and v as well as c before e and i.

Academia de l'Aragonés official orthography

The necessity of a complete generalization of Huesca's orthography and its answer by the Sociedad Lingüística Aragonesa as well as the sine die postponement of Lei de Luengas provoked that a big amount of associations that used the orthographic system from the I Congreso de l'Aragonés begun in 2005 a process named as Chuntos por l'Aragonés (United for Aragonese). The aim of this process was to claim for the unity of language and to celebrate the II Congreso de l'Aragonés in order to create a linguistic authority for Aragonese language. The process finished with the creation of the Academia de l'Aragonés in 2006.

This organization received support from several institutions to find a orthography and a standard variety for Aragonese. It is still working on them but published in February 2010 a draft: Propuesta Ortografica Provisional de l'Academia de l'Aragonés made oficial in June 2010 after a study process of all amendments that the community made to it.
