Most significant languages in the modern era are written down, and for most such languages a standard orthography has developed, often based on a standard variety of the language, and thus exhibiting less dialect variation than the spoken language. Sometimes there may be variation in a language's orthography, as between American and British spelling in the case of English orthography. In some cases orthography is regulated by bodies such as language academies, although for many languages (including English) there are no such authorities, and orthography develops through more democratic processes.
Orthography is distinct from typography, which is concerned with principles of typesetting.
Etymology and meaning
The English word orthography dates from the 15th century. It comes from the Frenchorthographie, from Latinorthographia, which derives from Greek ὀρθός orthós, "correct", and γράφειν gráphein, "to write".
