Miguel de Unamuno
“Si se adoptara una ortografía fonética y sencilla, que, aprendida por todos pronto y bien, hiciera imposibles las faltas de ortografía, ¿no desaparecería uno de los modos de que nos distingamos las personas de buena educación de aquéllas que no han podido recibirla tan esmerada? Si la instrucción no nos sirve a los pocos para que nos diferenciemos de los pobres, ¿para qué nos sirve?”
Miguel de Unamuno

“L'èxit dels projectes lingüístics va lligat molt sovint a l'èxit dels projectes sociolingüístics, els quals, al seu torn, van lligats a l'existència, la recuperació o la creació de la voluntat de ser poble, expressió que entenc com a voluntat de viure dignament, la voluntat que té una societat d'autodirigir-se i coordinar-se amb els altres, sense estar sotmesa a cap altra societat.”
Abelard Saragossà, Mozaik multilingue minim: eskrit segons el Projekte d'Ortografia Fonetica Unika Europea
