In official situations and by a majority of writers, the traditional spelling is the preferred spelling. This spelling is highly etymological and often represents aspects of the language that have not been present in spoken language for at least 300 years, e.g. the former tonal system and odd offglides. Other words have been shortened throughout the years, but are still written as they were 300 years ago. | In official situations and by a majority of writers, the traditional spelling is the preferred spelling.
