Abstract
This article looks at the treatment of b and v graphemes in the codification of the minoritized Romance languages of Spain. Following a review of the aporias and anomalies resulting from the choice of the etymological criterion in the establishment of the Castilian standard, we analyse the proposals that have emerged since the 1980s, as part of the process of linguistic revitalisation of minority languages (Aragonese, Astur-Leonese, Catalan and Galician), in order to assess the degree of autonomy of these languages in relation to Castilian. The review reveals a strong bias towards the dominant language, which calls into question the linguistic emancipation promoted by these new orthographic reformers.
