ortografiska

Ortografiska is an academic center based in Stockholm, Sweden, dedicated to the study and preservation of the written form of Swedish and other Nordic languages. The institution is particularly known for its focus on language standardization and orthography.

Established in 1892, Ortografiska was initially tasked with ensuring consistency in the use of Swedish orthography across different regions and dialects. Over the years, the center's scope has expanded to cover languages such as Sami and other minority languages spoken in Northern Sweden.

The center's main objectives are to provide guidance, carry out research, and collaborate with other institutions, such as language authorities, schools, and publishers, to promote linguistic uniformity and adhere to established standards. This includes editing and recommending language usage in official contexts.

Ortografiska provides members of the public and various institutions with support in formulating correct expressions and the usage of language. Individuals can also consult the center's experts and guidelines to get help in compiling lists and further refining the formulation of the language rules.

The center works closely with government bodies and influential language regulatory groups in examining linguistic issues on the national level. Members are given field-specific amendment suggestions that link to further improvement of their inputs.
