Real Academia Española
Founded by Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco, Marquis of Villena, on the model of the Académie française, the Real Academia Española takes as its motto Limpia, fija y da esplendor (to clean, fix, and give splendor to the Castilian tongue). Its first great project, the six-volume Diccionario de Autoridades, sets the standards of orthography, grammar, and usage that will bind together every Castilian writer from Cádiz to Lima. This institution makes our language the most regulated and exportable of the great European vernaculars, an instrument of empire as much as of letters.
