What did they change?
- Someone 8y agoI guess this refers to this: ”Spanish treated (until 1994) "CH" and "LL" as single letters, giving an ordering of cinco, credo, chispa and lomo, luz, llama. This is not true any more since in 1994 the RAE adopted the more conventional usage, and now LL is collated between LK and LM, and CH between CG and CI. The six characters with diacritics Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ü are treated as the original letters A, E, I, O, U, for example: radio, ráfaga, rana, rápido, rastrillo. The only Spanish-specific collating question is Ñ (eñe) as a different letter collated after N.” (Copied from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetical_order#Language-specific_convention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabetical_order#Language-sp...)
