  3. El Instituto CervantesThe Instituto Cervantes
Show answer and explanation

✓ La Real Academia Española

The Real Academia Española (RAE) sets the rules of Spanish and publishes the official dictionary and grammar. That is linguistic standardisation. The Instituto Cervantes, on the other hand, promotes the teaching and spread of the language and culture. The Institut Ramon Llull spreads Catalan, not Spanish. Each official Spanish language has its own academy: the Real Academia Galega, Euskaltzaindia or the Institut d'Estudis Catalans.
