Numerous studies have focused on the (inevitable?) ideological bias present in lexicographic works –as approached by Ethnolexicography–and, to a lesser extent, in grammatical treatises –what is now called Ethnogrammar. Our aim in this paper is to contribute a review of an orthographic handbook to that ethnographic area, entitled Plan concéntrico de ortografía –written in the second half of the 20th c. by Nicasio H. García, an inspector of Primary Education, and published in Montevideo in 1947 (2nd edition). A number of textual features in this book reflect the specific political and socio-cultural context. In the present study, therefore, we put forward the creation of a new sub-discipline, akin to those already mentioned, which can be named Ethnorthography, also included in the super-ordinate Glotopolitics, the science that addresses the various ways in which society acts upon languages.
