Academia Española

The Academia Española (RAE) is the official institution responsible for overseeing the Spanish language. Founded in 1713, its primary role is to preserve, develop, and standardize Spanish vocabulary, grammar, and spelling. It publishes authoritative reference works like the Diccionario de la lengua española, ensuring linguistic consistency across Spanish-speaking countries. While it offers guidelines and recommendations, language evolution remains dynamic, and the RAE does not rigidly control how Spanish is used worldwide. Its work supports clear communication and cultural unity among diverse Spanish-speaking communities.
