func setOrthography(_ orthography: NSOrthography?, range: NSRange)
```

## Parameters

`orthography`

The orthography.

`range`

The range.

## Discussion

If the orthography of the linguistic tagger is not set, it will determine it automatically from the contents of the text.  You should call this method only if you  know the orthography of the text by some other means.
