Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement of 1990
Hi there, little one! Do you know what the Portuguese language is? It's a way of speaking and writing that people in countries like Portugal, Brazil, and Angola use.
Well, in 1990, some important people from these countries got together to talk about how they could make the language better. They decided to make some changes to the way the words are spelled and written, and this is called the Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement.
Now, let's talk about what "orthographic" means. It's a big word that basically means "the way words are spelled." So the agreement was about how to spell the words in a more consistent and unified way across these countries.
Before the agreement, there were some differences in how some words were spelled. For example, in Brazil they used the letter "c" instead of "s" in some words, like "recepção" instead of "recepcion." And in Portugal, they used an accent in some words that Brazilians didn't use.
So, the agreement tried to fix these differences and make the spelling of words more similar in all the countries. This way, it's easier for everyone to understand each other when they read or write something in Portuguese.
In the end, the Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement made some changes to around 2000 words, including some that lost their accents or switched some letters around. And that's it! That's what the agreement was about, making the Portuguese language better and more consistent for everyone who uses it.
