Academia Española de la Lengua (in Latin America)

The Academia Española de la Lengua (Real Academia Española, RAE) is an institution based in Spain that governs the Spanish language's standards, vocabulary, and grammar. While its origins are Spanish, it also influences Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America through shared language norms. The RAE collaborates with other national academies in the "Association of Academies of the Spanish Language" to ensure consistency and promote linguistic unity across the Spanish-speaking world. Its work includes updating dictionaries, grammar rules, and promoting proper language use, serving as a reference authority for the Spanish language globally, including Latin America.
