This is a prospect of Insubric language orthographies others than the classical Milanese one.

Comasca[]

Alternative orthography of the city of Como and suburbs, used by the academy Famiglia Comasca.

Overriding differences in pronunciation and grammar, the orthography differences with the classical Milanese orthography are:

• sound /y/ is written ü, not u
• sound /u/ is written u, not o
• sound /œ/ is written ö, not oeu
• long vowels are always written as double
• there is a different use of accents (but not circumflex one)
• zz is often used
• article i ("the", plural) is written j when followed by vowel

Lecchese[]

The most used alternative orthography in Lecco and suburbs is:

(overriding differences in pronunciation and grammar)

• sound /y/ is written ü, not u
• sound /u/ is written u, not o
• sound /œ/ is written ö, not oeu
• long vowels are written with the circumflex accent
• the other accents, on tonic syllables, are always used
• final voiced consonants are written as voiceless (like they actually are in pronunciation), except ambiguities
