>government directly modifying a language instead of letting it change on its own
Disgusting. Centralized government was a mistake.

Same happened to Greek some forty years ago, namely the polytonic system was completely abandoned.

This will have an effect on the cultural and linguistic connotations of words, which I find pretty sad.

>>7657510
>Ce gouvernement...

It's the Académie Française behind this, not the government.

>>7657652
Maybe, most of the changes have a good explanation. They are just babbling now, as always.

>>7657652
This. Also, the German double S symbol was taken away and the SS was encouraged.

>>7657582
the official language is a social construct anyway

there's a shitload of dialects and one was arbitrarily picked to represent the entirety of some "French"

>>7659308
No they're not. They are (were) just grasping at any chance to feel relevant, the shitten fuckers

>>7657510
Who cares.

I'll still learn and use the old way.

>>7659352
Germans learned and used their old writing system until one day they didn't

stop being butthurt about fucking ortography

>>7659356
You misunderstand, reading and cultural connection are the only reasons I study other languages.

If the changes are unfavorable, I'll ignore them. I see no cause to care.

french is dead since the emergence of the middle class by the liberals.

>>7659334
that's not entirely true. we still use the ß, only in fewer (less? i'm high right now) words.

>>7659524
fewer, but I'm sure some congregation of degeneracy enforcement experts will be around to inform us that less is fine too any time now

>>7659549
>congregation of degeneracy enforcement experts
lmao /pol/ do you actually believe this?

>>7659524
don't you krautniggers only use it when there would be 3 Ss in a row?

>>7659524
>>7659549
>>7659560
Christ you guys are idiots.

The ß is used after a long vowel (groß, Maß), the ss is used after a short vowel (Schloss, krass)

>>7659556
this is a hyperbolic board chile how did you even end up here

>>7659556
>/pol/ bogeyman

>>7659524

ß is the dumbest letter imaginable. Had a teacher that insisted on pronouncing it differently as ss in every word that existed. And then she'd written a test with half of it consisting of ss in ß words, made my life a hell.

Got one up on that german bitch. Was cheating at a test of hers with cheatsheet up my sleeve, she thought she got me, but never found my cheatsheet that I safely dropped and stepped on.

>ognon

Will they edit new publications of old books to "correct" the orthography?

Am I the only person on /lit/ not fluent in French? What is the article about?

>>7659343
That was exactly anon's point
Prescriptards gonna prescript

I never post on /lit/ but I saw that and I'm honestly disgusted. It's called "promoting the dumb", people shall not make any effort to learn? Why? Becuz its 2 konplicated olol. And all of this for what? So that it can simplify the life of all those fucking immigrants that invaded us (/pol/ thingy but I had to say it because the reform that had been made 26 years ago by some douches were implemented only after the big scale Syria immigration. Ma chère langue natale a honte et elle demande satisfaction.
I'm disgusted by my own country. Languages don't evolve by using grammatical Diktats, languages evolve on their own. Trying to force this shit is simply the first step to dumbing everything down to stupidity. What shall it be next? Put words in a blender, mix for 10 seconds and we make a new word with whatever remains?

助けてください、先輩。

>>7659666
It's about tipping the hats off some letters

>>7659666
They're getting rid of î and û and simplifying some other words, like "oignon" --> "ognon".

>>7659751
Also removing the hyphens from some words, like "porte-feuille" and "week-end", which is not as controversial.

>>7659673
implying french isn't one of the most conservative european languages

>>7659751
>like "oignon" --> "ognon"

what the nigger fuck

Il faut tout de même considérer que les conséquences d'une pareille réforme sont irréversibles. C'est une vraie farce tout ce bordel.

>>7657510
Why does French even have diacritics? English gets along fine with just dipthongs, and we share a similar orthological history.

Would there be a serious problem with homophones?

>>7659660
The modification will affect only textbook for primary school so it'll affect the next generation, which basically is a meme because probably [I'm not even joking] half of it is arabs and blacks.

I live in Canada and don't remember shit about the French I was forced to learn in school (I would have liked to learn it, but the Ontario curriculum is a steaming pile of hot diarrhea).

How is French kill?

>tfw kebabs will accidentally end up the last bastion of expressive orthography

It's really not that big a deal.

Only 2000 words are concerned and getting an additional spelling.

This will only further the divide between the pleb and patrician.

Encore du nivellement vers le bas. En limitant le langage, on limite l'expression des idées et on transforme la langue en une chose simpliste et vulgaire, c'est aussi simple que ça.

Je rappel que seul les pauvres tirent une certaine fierté de l'orthographe abscon (car ils n'ont que cela pour eux)alors que les intellectuels ne venant pas de classe moyenne sont tous en faveur des améliorations.
