[2][3][4] Nowadays, they are used by some publishers, associations and taught by the cultural society Lo Rat Penat that issues its own qualifications in Valencian.
In this law the Norms of El Puig and the RACV were given public protection, promotion and teaching recognition.
[15][16] The cultural association Lo Rat Penat, and some publishing houses use these norms in its publications.
The forms efa, ela, ema, ena, essa, erra, essa are inadmissible in the RACV's standard, being deemed influence from Catalan and themselves deemed Eastern Catalan adaptations of the Castilian forms.
The Norms of El Puig write at the end of the words simply t, c, p. They do not make the written distinction at the end of the word between t-d, c-g, p-b of the Norms of Castelló, which is not kept in the oral language (pronounced as /t/, /k/, /p/ respectively in all Valencian phonetics standards).
In general (within both the AVL's standard as well as the RACV's), the singular definite articles el, lo and la, the personal articles en and na, and the preposition de ('of') elide to l' and d' respectively when used before nominals that begin with a vowel sound or a silent h preceding a vowel sound.
This elision does not occur before instances of vowels pronounced as a glide, such as in the phrase la Huitava del Corpus ('the Huitava del Corpus', a certain Valencian religious celebration) or el dia de hui ('today, the day of today').
Unlike in the AVL's standard, however, the feminine definite article la exhibits the aforementioned elision before nominals that begin with unstressed i or u.
