Summary "Reprezentação à Academia Real das Ciências sobre a refórma da ortografia" by Adriano de Abreu Cardoso Machado is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book is a formal representation to the Royal Academy of Sciences regarding the urgent need for a reform of Portuguese orthography, addressing the chaotic state of the language's spelling and pronunciation. It presents a comprehensive proposal aimed at establishing a standardized orthography that aligns with modern linguistic practices. In this work, the author and a committee outline the historical evolution of the Portuguese language, discussing the complexities of its current orthography and the necessity for a system that reflects pronunciation accurately. The text advocates for a "sónico" orthography—where each sound corresponds to a unique letter or symbol—aiming to simplify reading and writing for both native speakers and learners. The proposal critiques existing etymological principles that complicate spelling rules, suggesting a more practical and streamlined approach to writing in Portuguese, thereby promoting wider literacy and ease of learning. The document concludes with a call for institutional support to implement these reforms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
