Fundéu BBVA


The Fundéu BBVA (Fundéu being an acronym for Foundation of Emerging Spanish) is a non-profit organization created in February 2005 in Madrid, Spain. The Foundation was created in collaboration with the Real Academia Española, and is founded under the Department of Emerging Spanish of Agencia EFE. It took its new name, Fundéu BBVA, in 2008.

The foundation, in the words of its president, director of the Real Academia Española, Víctor García de la Concha, “is a fundamental step towards the unity of the language, it collaborates for the compliance of its objectives with all those institutions related to the defense of Spanish”. The main responsibility of the Foundation is to maintain the unity and “purity” of the Spanish language. Other primary main objectives of the Foundation include:

The book Manual de español urgente (Manual of Emergency Spanish) is an important tool in maintaining linguistic conservatism in Spanish. It is also responsible for clearing up any misunderstandings pertaining to the Spanish language. One of the main preoccupations of the Manual has been to provide alternatives to English words and phrases that have begun to influence the language. The manual also clears up any misinterpretations of how proper Spanish would utilize diverse linguistic aspects, such as pronunciation, orthography, and punctuation. The 19th edition was published in 2015.
