Royal Spanish Academy

The Royal Spanish Academy (Real Academia Española) is an institution founded in 1713 to oversee and preserve the Spanish language. Its main role is to establish and update linguistic standards, including grammar, spelling, and vocabulary, ensuring consistency across Spanish-speaking communities worldwide. The Academy advises on language use, publishes authoritative dictionaries, and promotes linguistic unity, while also respecting regional and cultural diversity within the Spanish language. It functions as a cultural guardian, fostering the growth and stability of Spanish as a rich, evolving language.
