Language academies

Language academies are organizations dedicated to studying, regulating, and promoting the proper use of a language. They often develop and maintain official dictionaries, grammar rules, and vocabulary standards to preserve linguistic consistency and cultural heritage. These institutions provide guidance for speakers, educators, and writers to ensure clear and accurate communication within a language community. Examples include the Académie Française for French and the Real Academia Española for Spanish. Their work balances tradition with language evolution, helping to formalize language use while adapting to changing societal needs.
