Orthography refers to the set of rules and conventions for writing a language, including the correct use of letters, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. It defines how words are represented in written form to ensure consistency and clarity in communication. A language's orthography may be based on an alphabet, like in English, or other writing systems, like characters in Chinese. Proper orthography helps maintain clear and understandable written communication, allowing readers to recognize words, sentences, and meanings accurately. It plays an important role in education, literacy, and effective writing.
