Pompeu Fabra

Pompeu Fabra (1868-1948) was a prominent Catalan grammarian, linguist, and lexicographer. He is best known for standardizing the Catalan language, establishing clear grammatical rules, and creating a comprehensive dictionary. His work was crucial in revitalizing Catalan during a period of political and cultural repression. Fabra's efforts helped shape modern Catalan as a language of education, literature, and government, promoting Catalan identity and culture. His influence continues to be felt, as his grammar and dictionary remain foundational for Catalan speakers today.
