Diccionari ortogràfic

The Diccionari ortogràfic is a dictionary of Catalan orthography published in 1917 by Pompeu Fabra, under the direction of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans. This work established the modern standards for written Catalan and served as the foundation for subsequent Catalan language reforms.

Beyond its technical function as a reference work, the Diccionari ortogràfic represents a pivotal moment in the modernization and standardization of the Catalan language. The text reflects both scholarly rigor and practical considerations in creating unified writing standards that could be widely adopted across Catalan-speaking regions.
