Royal Academy of the Basque Language (Euskaltzaindia)

The Royal Academy of the Basque Language, known as Euskaltzaindia, is an official institution dedicated to preserving, standardizing, and promoting the Basque language (Euskara). Founded in 1919, it works on developing grammar rules, spelling, and vocabulary to ensure consistent and accurate use of the language across education, media, and daily life. Euskaltzaindia also encourages cultural pride and the revitalization of Basque heritage, supporting linguistic research and publishing. Its goal is to keep the Basque language vibrant and functional for future generations, serving as a central authority for linguistic matters related to Euskara in Spain and France.
