Galician Language Institute

The Galician Language Institute (Instituto da Lingua Galega) is a public organization dedicated to studying, promoting, and regulating the Galician language. It works to ensure the proper use of Galician in education, media, and official contexts, helping to preserve and develop this regional language spoken mainly in Galicia, northwestern Spain. The Institute also produces linguistic resources, sets language standards, and supports cultural initiatives to strengthen Galician’s status and continuity. Its role is similar to that of linguistic authorities for other regional or national languages, aiming to foster linguistic identity and vitality.
