VALENCIAN LANGUAGE CHARACTERISTICS
Like all languages, the Valencian language also has its own typical characteristics in its spelling.Here I show some examples of these different characteristics in the use of the Valencian language.or more information, please visit the section “Ortografía de la lengua valenciana” on the website of the Real Academia de Cultura Valenciana.
The valencian CH. It can be seen that this typical feature of the Valencian language was already used in Valencian Romance 1000 years ago. In Valencian, the voiceless palatal affricate phoneme [č] has always been written with CH at the beginning and inside words between vowels and after consonants.
Exceptions: At the end of the word we write the sound [č] with IG or G (Puig, Elig, Barig, vaig, veig, goig, roig) and the sound [k] with CH in village names and traditional surnames (March, Albuixech, Albiach, Alberich, Doménech).
