'The Story of English' says one reason English spelling makes as little sense as it does is because whoever first printed a word set the precedent. 'Night' comes from German 'nicht' - so spelled n-i-g-h-t - so explain *that* to the English student...

@Hugo: That Story of English quote is poppy, not scientific.

The real issue is that spelling gets decided based on pronunciation, but after pronunciation subsequently changes the spelling may be retained out of inertia or respect for tradition or to make it easier to read old books (spelling stays consistent over centuries).

In Chaucer's time (late 1300s) there was a sound in night before the t very like the last sound in "loch." By Shakespeare's day (late 1500s) it was gone. But the spelling lives on.

Avatar 9:59am
Snortley:

Most other cultures have reformed their spelling, and grammar, too. Anglo cultures have done no such thing, though there was an early American movement in that direction.

English may not have been reformed for a couple of reasons. For one, xenophobia; the desire to estrange outsiders through a language difficult to learn. Then there is social stratification; when language mastery is hard, only the more educated upper classes fully master the standard dialect, and the lower classes are marked and separated by their own differing usage.

In American English you occasionally see "nite" instead of "night" which is of course closer to actual pronunciation. French certainly is an example of inertia.

@nah: Yeah, people have been advocating spelling reform in English for two centuries. Noah Webster changed some English spelling in the US nearly 200 years ago. But the preponderance of people seem to believe there is a right way to write, and a wrong way to write, and functionally that makes people conservative about spelling. It'll have to change at some point, but that could be several more centuries.

Exactly, French spelling and pronuciation are even farther apart than English.

Spanish and Portuguese, for example, have national academies that study this stuff and make changes slowly every few decades.

Remember when the German academy pronounced what will ultimately be a death sentence on the ß in the 90s? (It's being replaced by ss, which is essentially what ß is.)

Benjamen Walker:

Michael - have fun at the Nick Cave show where is it?

Another example is the American practice of dropping the u, labor and not labour, again closer to pronuncitation.

French spelling is very consistent. The so-called "silent" letters are not really that; they are "diacritic," indicating features of the vowels before them.

@G: I can just imagine all the problems with an attempt to "definitely" change spelling in a language as massive as English.

What was really the point of the phasing out the ß? I always found it kind of a charming thing. Looks cool on street signs etc. Is it that it isn't as easy to understand for a newbie/foreigner as just ss?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:10am
G:

French spelling reflects old pronunciation, which is why the silent letters help you with the ones that are still pronounced. In essence, understanding the silent letters is understanding how French phonology changed over centuries (sounds before or after other certain sounds stopped being pronounced) :)

@nah: There are always two sides to changing spelling, to change or not to change, and they are constantly battling it out in slow motion to some always provisional conclusion that will get reargued later. It's exactly like politics, or vice versa :)

@nah: they also dropped the umlaut, for instance "ö" should now be spelled "oe". Hours of administrative fun ensued for people who end up having their names spelled differently depending on when a document was made. Think how fun it would be explaining that to your local TSA drone
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:15am
Caryn:

I kinda hated the idea to phase out the ß. It was relatively easy, and actually easier to remember in spelling than remembering whether something has one or two s letters in it. It also made it easy to differentiate between das and daß. But we'll see if anything comes of the various spelling changes they suggested in the 90s. About 15 years gone, and can't say I've noticed much changing... Are they teaching the new spelling in schools like they said they would?

Yes, very consistent. Almost always, the pronunciation is clear from the spelling. One exception is "ll," which represents two different sounds. Also, the circumflex indicates nothing about the sound of the word, and is gradually being phased out.

The Germans more or less got rid of blackletter ("gothic") lettering earlier in the 20th century. Hitler loved the more uniquely German gothic lettering, and it was hugely used in that era.

Gothic script goes back to how medieval manuscripts were handwritten in northern, German-speaking areas of Europe, and the fonts more used now come from Italian Renaissance typefaces based on more south-European handwriting.

@nah: my point exactly. The Academy decided on these changes in the late 90s. I was already pissed off then. But gotta say, years and years have passed and I haven't seen German papers or signs changing their spelling. Again, I'm not sure if kids are being taught the new rules or whether this was an idea that is not going to become reality. I especially see no point in removing the umlaut. Ö is clearly pronounced like ö, whereas oe can be pronounced different ways. That change would actually cause more problems with pronunciation, not reduce problems. And seems like sucking up to English-speaking tourists etc.

Being a Tolkien fan (who I'd rather invoke than Hitler - the Nazis had their own little version of everything & who cares) helps maintain interest here (he was a Medievalist in the 20th Cent. basically) - but only somewhat...I suspect he'd have a few choice words (in a few languages) about the changes - presumably agreeing it's more Political (/Financial) than any real Phonetic advantage.
...It all makes me think of things Julian Cope has said, somehow. Interesting that RockKulture - & Fantasists - & Metaphysicians - seek to embrace umlauts & the like! - as bureaucrats (spell that!) & financiers the opposite...
