"The Treatment of Consonants in the ""ambraser Heldenbuch"""

The orthography of the Early New High German period has occasionally been misinterpreted in the scholarship, and has consequently been described as being characterized by chaos, arbitrariness, and a proliferation of letters that has no phonological basis. This perceived chaos derives from attempts of the last century to reconcile the writing systems of vastly different dialects with a supposed standard language. Recent scholarship has shown that orthographies of the period can be shown to be systematic if individual dialects are treated separately.
