"They have been, are and are, the Academies."

  • Three illegal organizations in the slogan, and within the law yet, listen.
Iñiko Azkona

If we were to say that Euskaltzaindia is the headache of many Basques...

I would be happy, but the concern about Euskera and the Academy among ordinary Euskaldunes is by no means the biggest.

We won't ask teachers, students, etc., just in case.

There are some who think that Euskaltzaindia every day we try to give new and erroneous rules and rules, as if we played. That is not true.

But does Euskaltzaindia confuse Euskera?

It is not our intention. We are trying to give the rules as clear as possible. Euskaltzaindia works for the Euskaldunes, maintaining the good use and originality of our language, and not the last-minute Castilian ones.

It's an organization that has its feet on earth.

No doubt. Before deciding and publishing a standard, Euskaltzaindia makes its decisions, not blindly, after analyzing the uses of the most important authors from before and now.

Back to the speaker?

Prior written language maintains the tradition of written form. It's the basis of all the written languages of the world. The forms of pure spoken language are also, at times, entirely legitimate and useful, in a more informal way.

That's why you're signing writers.

As for the criterion of appointing new academics, the merits of writers have always been the same and will then be taken into account.

For example, Jon Juaristi's.

In Basque culture, language and literature, she could not be denied anything, and I would like those who criticise her to know as much as she does in the Basque area.

But ...

But in any academy, there are other characteristics to consider: attachment to language, attitude and social image, balance of opinions... and we tend to take into account.

Ande, ande, ande.

Regulation and language unity are not carried out spontaneously. On the other hand, languages are evolving and adapting and there are always doubts. If the same language does not die, I do not know of any academy that has closed its doors.

Yes, he's never opened them.

Yes. However, in the case of the languages that have just reached levels of culture and officialdom, the languages have been and are necessary, i.e. the Academies. Even more so in a somewhat anarchic country like ours.

The 'favorite' places
