The '''Royal Spanish Academy''' ({{langx|es|Real Academia Española}}, {{IPA|es|reˈal akaˈðemja espaˈɲola|pron}}; {{abbr|'''RAE'''}}) is Spain's official royal institution with a mission to ensure the stability of the [[Spanish language]]. It is based in [[Madrid]], Spain, and is affiliated with national language academies in 22 other [[Hispanophone]] nations through the [[Association of Spanish Language Academies|Association of Academies of the Spanish Language]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.asale.org/sites/default/files/Folleto_Asale_web_ag16.pdf|title=ASOCIACIÓN DE ACADEMIAS DE LA LENGUA ESPAÑOLA|website=Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170804005330/http://www.asale.org/sites/default/files/Folleto_Asale_web_ag16.pdf|archive-date=4 August 2017|access-date=28 October 2017}}</ref> 

The RAE dedicates itself to [[language planning]] by applying [[linguistic prescription]] aimed at promoting linguistic unity within and between various territories, to ensure a common standard. The proposed language guidelines are shown in a number of works.

In 1711, Spain, unlike France, Italy and Portugal, did not have a large dictionary with a comprehensive and collegially elaborated lexicographical repertoire. 
The initial nucleus of the future Academy was formed that same year by the eight novatores who met in the library of the palace of {{lang|es|italic=no|[[Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco]]}}, [[Duke of Escalona]] and [[Marquisate of Villena|Marquess of Villena]], located in the Plaza de las Descalzas Reales in Madrid.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Concha |first1=Víctor García de la |title=La Real Academia Española.

The Spanish Academy was founded in 3 August 1713 on the initiative of Pacheco, with the purpose of "fixing the voices and words of the Castilian language in their greatest propriety, elegance and purity".<ref name="four">{{cite web |title=Ortografía de la lengua española |url=https://www.rae.es/ortograf%C3%ADa/origen-y-evoluci%C3%B3n-del-sistema-ortogr%C3%A1fico-del-espa%C3%B1ol |website=Real Academia Española y Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española |publisher=Real Academia Española |access-date=10 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240705124610/https://www.rae.es/ortograf%C3%ADa/origen-y-evoluci%C3%B3n-del-sistema-ortogr%C3%A1fico-del-espa%C3%B1ol |archive-date=5 July 2024 |location=Madrid |language=es}}</ref> The objective was to fix the language in the state of fullness that it had reached during the 16th century and that had been consolidated in the 17th century. 

The Italian [[Accademia della Crusca]] founded in 1582 and the [[Académie Française]] founded in 1635 were taken as models.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kukuk |first1=Nick |title=The Real Academia Española in the Age of Social Networks |journal=ILCEA |date=12 June 2023 |issue=51 |doi=10.4000/ilcea.17329}}</ref> 

The first official session of the new corporation was held at the residence of Pacheco on 6 July 1713, an event that is recorded in the book of minutes, begun on 3 August 1713.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Concha |first1=Víctor García de la |title=La Real Academia Española.

Collective utility became the main hallmark of the Spanish Academy, differentiating itself from other academies that had proliferated in the golden centuries and that were conceived as mere occasional literary gatherings.

The RAE began establishing rules for the orthography of Spanish beginning in 1741 with the first edition of the {{lang|es|Ortographía}} (spelled {{lang|es|Ortografía}} from the second edition onwards). The proposals of the Academy became the official norm in Spain by royal decree in 1844, and they were also gradually adopted by the Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas.

Several reforms were introduced in the {{lang|es|Nuevas Normas de Prosodia y Ortografía}} (1959, New Norms of Prosody and Orthography). Since the establishment of the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language in 1951, the Spanish academy works in close consultation with the other Spanish language academies in its various works and projects. The 1999 Orthography was the first to be edited by the twenty two academies together.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/ortografiadelale0000unse |title=Ortografía de la Lengua Española |access-date=2009-02-07 |author=Real Academia Española |year=1999 |format=PDF |language=es |isbn=84-239-9250-0 |pages=v–viii |publisher=Espasa }}</ref> The current rules and practical recommendations on spelling are presented in the latest edition of the {{lang|es|Ortografía}} (2010).

The headquarters, opened in 1894, is located at Calle Felipe IV, 4, in the [[Districts of Madrid|ward of Jerónimos]], next to the {{lang|es|[[Museo del Prado]]}}. The Center for the Studies of the Royal Spanish Academy, opened in 2007, is located at Calle Serrano 187–189.

According to Salvador Gutiérrez, an academic numerary of the institution, the Academy does not dictate the rules but studies the language, collects information and presents it. The rules of the language are simply the continued use of expressions, some of which are collected by the Academy. Although he also says that it is important to read and write correctly.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.elmundo.es/cultura/2013/12/12/52a9d8fd63fd3d0c788b4576.html?a=e1017c79219ff622f70c967f089b38f1&t=1386869710&goback=.gde_660437_member_5817333889084985345#|title=Dequeístas, leístas y compañía... hay una salida|last=Plaza|first=J.

Article 1 of the statutes of the Royal Spanish Academy, translated from Spanish, says the following:<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.rae.es/sites/default/files/Estatutos_y_reglamento_nuevo.pdf|title=ESTATUTOS Y REGLAMENTO DE LA REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA|date=2014|website=Real Academia Española|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170828230250/http://www.rae.es/sites/default/files/Estatutos_y_reglamento_nuevo.pdf|archive-date=28 August 2017|access-date=28 October 2017}}</ref>

{{blockquote|The Academy is an institution with legal personality whose main mission is to ensure that the changes experienced by the Spanish language in its constant adaptation to the needs of its speakers do not break the essential unity it maintains throughout the Hispanic world. It must equally ensure that this evolution preserves the characteristic nature of the language, as gradually consolidated over the centuries, as well as establishing and disseminating the criteria for its proper and correct use, and contributing to its splendor.

To achieve these ends, it shall study and promote the study of the history and present of Spanish, it shall disseminate the writings, literary—especially classics—and non-literary, that it deems important for the knowledge of such matters, and will seek to keep alive the memory of those who, in Spain or in the Americas, have cultivated our language with glory.

As a member of the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language, it shall maintain a special relation with the corresponding and associated academies.{{long quote|date=November 2025}}{{whose translation|date=November 2025}}|sign=|source=}}

Members of the Academy are known as {{lang|es|Académicos de número}} ({{langx|en|Academic Numerary}}),{{whose translation|date=November 2025}} chosen from among prestigious people within the arts and sciences, including several [[List of Spanish language authors|Spanish-language authors]], known as The Immortals (Spanish: {{lang|es|Los Inmortales}}), similarly to their [[French academy|French Academy]] counterparts. The numeraries (Spanish: ''Números)'' are elected for life by the other academicians. Each academician holds a seat labeled with a letter from the [[Spanish alphabet]], with upper and lower case letters denoting separate seats. Only eight letters of the alphabet do not have—nor have they had in the past—representation in the seats of the RAE: ''v'', ''w'', ''x'', ''y'', ''z'', ''Ñ'', ''W'', ''Y''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Académicos |url=https://www.rae.es/academicos |website=rae.es/ |language=Spanish}}</ref>

The Academy has included Latin American members from the time of [[Rafael María Baralt]], although some Spanish-speaking countries have their own academies of the language.
