Foro de la Lengua Española is a Spanish language forum and non-governmental platform established to discuss, promote and protect the Spanish language across Spain and the Hispanic world. It convenes scholars, writers, policymakers and representatives from institutions such as Real Academia Española, Instituto Cervantes, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and international bodies including Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos, Unión Europea, Naciones Unidas and Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española to address linguistic policy, literary culture and language teaching. The forum engages with cultural landmarks and figures like Miguel de Cervantes, Gabriel García Márquez, Pablo Neruda, Federico García Lorca and institutions such as Museo del Prado, Biblioteca Nacional de España, Casa de América and Gran Teatro del Liceo.
The Foro de la Lengua Española was founded in Madrid in 1990 with founding participants from Real Academia Española, Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española, Instituto Cervantes, Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad de Barcelona and representatives linked to events like Congreso de la Lengua Española and the Cumbre Iberoamericana de Jefes de Estado y de Gobierno. Early meetings included speakers associated with Felipe González, José María Aznar, Miguel Herrero y Rodríguez de Miñón, Antonio Machado scholars and delegates from Ministerio de Cultura (España), Ayuntamiento de Madrid and cultural centers such as Fundación Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes. Through the 1990s the forum organized panels with authors connected to Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, Isabel Allende, Mario Vargas Llosa and collaborated with publishers like Editorial Planeta, Grupo Santillana and research centers at Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid and universities across América Latina, including Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Universidad de Buenos Aires.
The forum's mission is articulated in cooperation with Real Academia Española, Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española, Instituto Cervantes, UNESCO and regional governments such as Gobierno de España to foster Spanish language use, defend linguistic diversity and promote literary heritage tied to figures like Lope de Vega, Góngora, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and Jorge Luis Borges. Objectives include advising educational authorities such as Consejería de Educación (Comunidad de Madrid), working with textbook producers like Grupo SM, engaging with media organizations such as RTVE, El País and Antena 3 and supporting initiatives related to Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos translations and multilingual policies in forums like Unión Europea and Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos.
The governance model draws on institutional partners including Real Academia Española, Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española, Instituto Cervantes, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Salamanca and municipal partners such as Ayuntamiento de Madrid. Membership comprises academicians linked to Real Academia Española, professors from Universidad de Buenos Aires, writers associated with Editorial Planeta and cultural managers from Museo del Prado, Biblioteca Nacional de España and international delegates from Ministerio de Cultura (Argentina), Ministerio de Educación (México) and NGOs like Fundación Carolina. Advisory councils have included figures connected to Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Carmen Martín Gaite and policy interlocutors from Parlamento Europeo and Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos.
The forum organizes annual congresses modeled on events such as the Congreso de la Lengua Española, coordinates workshops with Instituto Cervantes, curates lecture series at venues like Casa de América, Biblioteca Nacional de España and collaborates on teacher training with UNESCO, Consejo de Europa and universities including Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Programs include literary prizes in the tradition of Premio Cervantes, public debates with journalists from El País, ABC and broadcasters such as Televisión Española, digital campaigns with partners like Fundación Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes and research projects funded by entities like Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and Comisión Europea. Initiatives target bilingual education policies in regions such as Cataluña, Galicia and País Vasco and involve stakeholders from Generalitat de Catalunya, Xunta de Galicia and Eusko Jaurlaritza.
The forum publishes proceedings and reports distributed through platforms like Editorial Planeta, Grupo Santillana, Fundación Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, Revista de Filología Española and academic series linked to Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Universidad de Salamanca. Resources include corpora compiled with Real Academia Española and Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española, teaching materials for institutions such as Instituto Cervantes and policy briefs circulated to Ministerio de Educación (España), Ministerio de Cultura (España) and international partners including UNESCO and Unión Europea. Special editions have featured essays on writers like Miguel de Cervantes, Federico García Lorca, Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel García Márquez and scholarship by academics from Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Universidad de Chile.
The forum's influence is evident in consultations affecting norms promoted by Real Academia Española, curricular recommendations addressed to Ministerio de Educación (España) and public debates in media outlets such as El País, ABC, La Vanguardia and broadcasters like Televisión Española. Controversies have arisen over prescriptive positions compared with perspectives from Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española, regional administrations like Generalitat de Catalunya and Xunta de Galicia, and critics including scholars from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Salamanca and writers associated with Movimiento de la Nueva Novela. Debates have involved international organizations such as UNESCO, Unión Europea and Organización de Estados Iberoamericanos regarding language policy, digital corpora and representation of Latin American varieties discussed with institutions like Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Universidad de Buenos Aires.
