The Real Academia Española (RAE) is an institution founded in 1713 in Madrid, Spain, dedicated to the regulation and preservation of the Spanish language. Its primary mission is to ensure the proper use of Spanish by establishing grammatical and orthographic norms, as well as publishing dictionaries and other linguistic resources. The RAE is part of the Spanish Language Academy network, which includes similar institutions in various Spanish-speaking countries. It plays a crucial role in promoting the Spanish language and fostering its development, adapting to changes in society while maintaining its rich heritage.
