That Wikipedia article also says: “Los dígrafos Ch y Ll tienen valores fonéticos específicos, y durante los siglos XIX y XX se ordenaron separadamente de C y L, aunque la práctica se abandonó en 1994 para homogeneizar el sistema con otras lenguas.” -> roughly: “the "Ch" and "Ll" digraphs have specific phonetic values, and during the 19th and 20th centuries they were ordered separately from C and L, but this practice was abandoned in 1994 in order to make the system consistent with other languages.” And about "rr": “El dígrafo rr (llamado erre, /'ere/, y pronunciado /r/) nunca se consideró por separado, probablemente por no aparecer nunca en posición inicial.” -> “the "rr" digraph was never considered separate, probably because it never appears at the very beginning of a word.” Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
