An orthography is a set of conventions forwriting a language. It includes norms ofspelling, hyphenation, capitalization, word breaks, emphasis, and punctuation.
Most significant languages in the modern era are written down, and for most such languages a standard orthography has been developed, often based on a standard varietyof the language, and thus exhibiting lessdialect variation than the spoken language. Sometimes there may be variation in a language's orthography, as betweenAmerican and British spelling in the case ofEnglish orthography. In some languages orthography is regulated by language academies, although for many languages (including English) there are no such authorities, and orthography develops in a more organic way. Even in the latter languages, a significant amount of consensus arises naturally, although a maximum of consistency or standardization occurs only when prescriptively imposed according to style guides.
