{{Main|Reforms of French orthography}}

In 1990, [[Reforms of French orthography#The rectifications of 1990|a substantial reform]] ordered by the [[French prime minister]] changed the spelling of about 2000 words as well as some grammar rules. After much delay, the new recommended orthography received official support in [[France]], [[Belgium]], and [[Quebec]] in 2004, but it has not yet been widely adopted. The 2012 version of ''[[Éditions Larousse|Larousse]]'' incorporates all of the changes. The 2009 version of ''[[Le Petit Robert]]'' incorporates most of the changes. There are 6000 words, including words which were not part of the 1990 reform, for example, ''charrette'' or ''charette'', based on chariot. As of 16 March 2009, several major Belgian publishing groups have begun to apply the new spellings in their online publications.
