The study of the neographic actions in the late nineteenth century in Spain and Chile has received little specific attention within the discussions focused on orthography reform. Although this topic reached greatest significance in previous decades, there is still a lack of studies that analyze the interest of the neographic actions on both sides of the Atlantic. The objectives of this work are a) the delimitation of interference and influences among supporters of reform in both nations and, especially, b) the nature and origin of their proposals, taking as a reference the importance of the written press as a means of disseminating reformist ideas and the influence exerted on these neographers by the Spelling reform movements at the international level, which initially served to promote and defend reformist interests in countries like France, England, Germany and, finally, Spain and Chile, where these neographers attempt the execution of their orthographic claims in a period in which the Royal Spanish Academy has fully consolidated its doctrine in different social spheres.
