The Spanish Language

The contemporary Spanish Language: In 1713 the Royal Spanish Academy was founded. Its first task was to set the language and punish the changes of language speakers had over the centuries. At this time it was over phonetic and morphological change and the verbal system of simple and compound time was the same that has been going through the first half of the twentieth century. Unstressed pronouns are no longer combined with participle forms, and thanks to the morphological variation, the elements of the sentence may be ordered in many different ways with a variety of literary styles.

As to the American continent, qualified authors describe for dialects each of the linguistic varieties that have been consolidated in the respective countries. Spanish dialectology in America must be made by each country before imposing the homogeneity of radio, film and television erased dialect boundaries that still exist.

Castilian is the Romance language most widely used in today's world. It is spoken in most of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern USA, throughout Mexico, throughout Central America and South America (except Brazil and Guyana) and is the language of a minority group of speakers from the Philippines.

This vast geographical spread results in a significant range of dialects. This suggests that after centuries and inevitably, Castilian should follow the fate of Latin: split into different national languages. Apparently, the speed of the media and the wide dissemination of the written language in literature and mass media, make the vast majority of Spanish Language speakers handle a variety of common language, in which all means though regional differences.

The school operates as a unifying body that speakers tend to communicate with a growing number of speakers of other regions. So although we are aware that language inevitably evolves, we must also believe in the need to maintain a linguistic unit that allows fluid communication between the effective and most Spanish Language speakers.
