The Standard for the Andalusian Language (Andalusian Spanish: Êttandâ pal andalûh) (EPA) is a proposed standardized orthographic system for the dialect of Spanish spoken in Andalusia. It is one of several orthographies proposed as part of the Andalusian language movement.
Characteristics
[edit]EPA differs from standard Spanish orthography in reflecting the phonetics of the Andalusian dialect. Notable differences include:[1]
- [s] is represented with <ç> before [e] and [i]
- [β] is always represented as <b>, even where standard Spanish orthography uses a <v>
- [t͡ʃ] is represented with <x> (as in Catalan)
- Geminated consonants, which occur in Andalusian Spanish following a syllable ending[further explanation needed] in a dropped [s], are represented with a doubled consonant
- Vowels immediately preceding a dropped [s] are marked with a circumflex, and an <h> is added at the end of the word
- All instances of <h> that are not pronounced in standard Spanish are removed
Example
[edit]Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in EPA, standard Spanish, and English:
Standard for Andalusian | Standard Spanish | English |
---|---|---|
Tôh lô çerê umanô naçen librê e igualê en dînnidá y derexô y, dotaô como êttán de raçón y conçiençia, deben comportarçe fratênnarmente lô unô con lô otrô. | Todos los seres humanos nacen libres e iguales en dignidad y derechos y, dotados como están de razón y conciencia, deben comportarse fraternalmente los unos con los otros. | All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. |
