Language institutions are organizations that focus on the study, preservation, and promotion of languages. They may offer language courses, conduct research, and provide resources for language learners and educators. Examples of such institutions include universities, language schools, and cultural organizations. These institutions often play a crucial role in maintaining linguistic diversity and supporting minority languages. They may also engage in activities like publishing dictionaries, organizing language events, and collaborating with communities to foster language use. Notable examples include the Alliance Française for the French language and the Goethe-Institut for the German language.
