Variations sociales: la réforme de l’orthographe

In 2016, the Académie française announced a spelling reform that authorized the removal of the circumflex (ˆ) when it appears on the letters i and u, e.g. boîte → boîte ‘box’, août → ‘August’. Like many spelling reforms, this decision was made to help the language’s written form more closely reflect changes that have occurred in its pronunciation since its standardization in the 17th century.

Historically, the circumflex indicated the presence of an -s in the word that was once pronounced, e.g. île > ISLE, maître > MAISTRE. Over time (due to the -s occurring right before other consonants in the same syllable), the sound became less and less audible in speakers’ pronunciations, first becoming breathy like English [h], and eventually disappearing completely (not unlike what is happening with -s in 20th and 21st century Latin American Spanishes). The circumflex (ˆ) was first introduced to replace the deleted s’s in French orthography in the 16th century, and the Académie adopted the practice officially in its 1740 edition of the dictionary.

There is one complication to the removal of circumflexes on i and u: the change is only authorized if the circumflex is not part of a verbal ending, e.g. *fût ‘was’ (ût=literary past tense), or if its removal doesn’t confuse two words with different meanings, e.g. *mûr ‘ripe, mature’ vs. mur ‘wall’.

As with a lot of language change, French users around the world had a lot to say on social media when the reform was announced in 2016.

What are the main three languages spoken in your country?

What is / are the official language(s) of your country?

What is the institution in your country that regulates the official language(s) like the Académie française regulates French in France?
