Spanish orthography

Spanish orthography, or spelling system, uses Latin-based letters to accurately represent pronunciation and meaning. It has consistent rules for letter use, such as "c" for soft sounds before "e" or "i" and "k" mostly in loanwords. Accent marks indicate stress or distinguish words (e.g., "sí" vs. "si"), while the tilde in "ñ" represents a separate sound. Rules for double consonants, vowel combinations, and capitalization help standardize writing. Overall, Spanish orthography aims for clarity, preserving pronunciation cues and ensuring uniformity across texts, making reading and communication more effective.
