At that time, there were no similar organisations anywhere in the world . The Council itself consisted of some 60 members drawn from a wide range of bodies with an interest in education . This Council appointed a director and arranged for some basic funding to come from government local authorities, but the EIS provided free accommodation and secretarial assistance.

This was predominately due to the availability of well-equipped laboratories and highly qualified faculty at MUET Jamshoro campus, and also due to the shortage of space for classrooms and labs at Nawabshah since the number of students had

orthography of the French language
|
French orthography encompasses the spelling and punctuation of the French language. It is based on a combination of phonemic and historical principles. The spelling of words is largely based on the pronunciation of Old French c. 1100β1200 CE and has stayed more or less the same since then, despite enormous changes to the pronunciation of the language in the intervening years. This has resulted in a complicated relationship between spelling and sound, especially for vowels; a multitude of silent letters; and many homophones (e.g., ///// (all pronounced ), // (all pronounced )). Later attempts to respell some words in accordance

with their Latin etymologies further increased the number of silent letters (e.g., vs. older β compare English "tense", which reflects the original spelling β and vs. older ). Nevertheless, there are rules governing French orthography which allow for a reasonable degree of accuracy when pronouncing French words from their written forms. The reverse operation, producing written forms from a pronunciation, is much more ambiguous. Alphabet The French alphabet is based on the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, uppercase and lowercase, with five diacritics and two orthographic ligatures. {| class="wikitable" !Letter !Name !Name (IPA) !Diacritics and ligatures |- | A

of ai in place of oi where pronounced rather than . The most significant effect of this was to change the spelling of all imperfect verbs (formerly spelled -ois, -oit, -oient rather than -ais, -ait, -aient), as well as the name of the language, from franΓ§ois to franΓ§ais. Modern French In October 1989, Michel Rocard, then-Prime Minister of France, established the High Council of the French Language () in Paris.
