	German spelling reform of 1996 - Biocrawler
		The German spelling reform (Rechtschreibreform) was an international agreement signed in 1996 by the governments of the German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland), concerning the reform of German spelling.
		In 1880 the Prussians regulated German spelling on the basis of Konrad Duden's dictionary.
		The reform aims to systematise the correspondence between sounds (phonemes) and letters (graphemes), and to strengthen the principle that declinations should follow the spelling of the root.

	Opinion: Spelling Reform Spells Trouble for Germany \| Culture & Lifestyle \| Deutsche Welle \| 03.03.2006
		German, for its part, is not the most efficient of languages: It needs 11 letters for a surname consisting of only three distinct sounds (Tzschätzsch), but the German spelling reform was never that ground-shaking in the first place.
		Attempts by the Institute for the German Language and the Society for the German Language in the late eighties to do away with the complicated capitalization of nouns and make the German spelling more phonetic were never considered even remotely acceptable by the political establishment or the general public.
		While several German publishers recently rejected the country's six-year-old spelling reform, a clear majority of states intend to stick to the change in schools, according to a news report.

	Spelling Summary
		Whereas uniformity in the spelling of words is one of the features of a standard language in modern times, and official languages usually prescribe standard spelling, Minority languages and regional languages often lack this trait.
		The intelligence of Dan Quayle, for instance, was repeatedly disparaged for correcting a student's spelling of "potato" as "potatoe" at an elementary school spelling bee in Trenton, New Jersey on June 15, 1992[1].
		Divergent spelling is also a popular advertising technique, used to attract attention or to render a trademark "suggestive" rather than "merely descriptive." The pastry chains Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme, for example, employ nonstandard spellings.

	History of the German (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		German used to be the language of commerce and government in the Habsburg Empire, which encompassed a large area of Central and Eastern Europe.
		Official revisions of some of these rules were not issued until 1998, when the German spelling reform of 1996 was officially promulgated by governmental representatives of all German-speaking countries.
		Since the reform, German spelling has been in an eight-year transitional period where the reformed spelling is taught in most schools, while traditional and reformed spellings co-exist in the media.

	BBC NEWS \| Europe \| Spelling revolt grips German press
		German newspapers give much attention to the decision by the country's two most influential news publishers to ditch a spelling reform agreed on only eight years ago.
		The two companies are not the first publishers to abandon the 1996 spelling rules, which included changing the spelling of many compound words and cutting the distinctive "sz" sound represented by a beta character.
		The centre-left Berliner Zeitung feels that the renewed controversy over the spelling reform is simply a side-show diverting attention away from the problems of the German economy and reducing press coverage of the government's unpopular proposed welfare reforms.

		In an attempt to create a unified way of spelling and punctuating the German language (particularly for usage in schools), a standardised orthography for Germany and Austria was approved upon at the second Orthographical Conference in Berlin in 1901.
		Older Germans see no reason to reject the way they have been spelling German for decades, and view the changes as being as unnecessarily destructive of old certainties as the simultaneous introduction of the Euro to replace the Mark.
		If spelling reform is thrown out the window, or reformed yet again, it could cost publishers, the government and other businesses even more than the millions of German marks, Austrian schillings or Swiss francs already spent on orthographic reforms to date.

		That ruling prompted the state’s SPD government to announce Monday (October 20) that it would suspend implementation of the reform and order schools to return to the spelling rules long conventional when students return from their brief fall break in early November.
		At issue is whether Germany’s sixteen state ministers of education exceeded their authority when they committed the country to the spelling reform plan an international group of linguists and educators first proposed in late 1994.
		Spelling rules will be made more comprehensible and freed from a profusion of exceptions and special cases, and the gap between the written and spoken word will be narrowed.
