spelling on place-name signs was singled out as a campaign topic used to prove that incumbent Mayor Paletti had a »Slovenianizing« tendency. As a representative for the municipality under Mayor Barbarino, Chinese gave a di昀昀erent direction to local language policy. When the Province of Udine convened a committee for installing bilingual direction signs on its provincial roads in 2004, Chinese blocked the outcome of the committee’s recommendations with respect to Resia to prevent NV spelling being used. Toward the end of that year, the Province of Udine distributed 昀氀yers to promote bilingualism, for which Chinese had provided the Resian texts. This provoked an open letter of protest by Luigia Negro to Marzio Strassoldo, head of the provincial government, which was co-signed by representatives of various Resian cultural organizations (see also NM 32/4, 2005: 1, 8). Nonetheless, instead of taking a back seat, the Province of Udine continued to support Chinese. After having been elected mayor himself in 2009, one of his 昀椀rst actions was to have this alternative orthography o昀케cially adopted. The aim of his reform was »to de昀椀ne Resian spelling for the municipality’s acts as follows: the system outlined by Prof. Steenwijk with replacement of the letter c with the letter z, and of the letter z with the letter ś« (NG 6/1, 2010: 4). Thus, an automatic modi昀椀cation of the norms laid out in the original project was introduced, which would theoretically manifest itself as modi昀椀ed standard Resian (SR-M) and as modi昀椀ed normalized local varieties (NV-M). In the following years, the municipality produced several publications in which this modi昀椀cation was put into practice: an exercise book of Resian grammar, a dictionary for elementary school, and texts drawn from oral literature. After substituting the previously installed place- name signs in NV with new ones in NV-M, by the end of 2011 provincial direction signs in NV-M now also appeared, followed by a host of local direction signs and street-name signs. Since 2011, the use of written Resian has also extended to individual articles in the o昀케cial municipality information bulletin Il Giornale di Resia, a feature that remains present until today. In 2010 a municipality guide had already appeared, a sixteen-page booklet that, apart from the title and colophon, was exclusively worded in Resian. Since 2017, the municipality’s website has also contained a section with short notices in Resian. Because the pool of persons that have learned to write in normalized Resian is rather small (see above), familiar names show up as the translators and editors of these texts: Paola Coss, Angela Di Lenardo, and Catia Quaglia. Mutatis mutandis, one would expect the characteristics of this modi昀椀ed written norm to be the same as those that were previously discussed in Section 3, but this is not the case. Some problems recur more frequently, and additional problems arise. Interference from one or more local varieties can be so prominent that it becomes di昀케cult to determine which variety a given text has actually been written in, be this SR-M or NV-M. The 2010 booklet may serve as an example: 1) NV-M (G, Lp) utrök and bujë, but also (SR-M) otrök and bojë ‘child’, ‘more’; 2) NV-M (Lp) tu-w Munizïpihö / Ta-w munizïpö ‘in the town hall’; 3) NV-M (O, S) f. acc. sg. valïko, but 322
