"Observations sur l'orthographe ou ortografie française, suivies d'une histoire de la réforme orthographique depuis le XVe siècle jusqu'à nos jours" by Ambroise Firmin Didot is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on addressing the complexities and inconsistencies of the French spelling system, proposing reforms to improve clarity and accessibility for learners. It delves into the history of orthographic changes and the influence of the Académie française on the evolution of the language. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the intent behind the work: to explore and rectify the many imperfections in French orthography. It outlines the significant challenges in making reforms due to long-standing traditions and the various attempts made over the centuries. Didot argues that simplifications could aid education and language propagation, particularly for non-native speakers. Additionally, it sets the stage for a detailed examination of historical changes in spelling and the nature of linguistic evolution in France, highlighting the role of various scholars and academicians in shaping the language.
