	Naive Spanish Judeophobia - Gustavo D. Perednik
		When the Spanish Royal Academy is requested to exclude from its new editions the derogatory definitions of a Jew, it responds that they merely reflect the way language is used, and that there is no deliberation on their part.

		Expenses were underwritten by the Countess Montijo, wife of the Spanish ambassador to the Court of St. James, in an effort to publicize Cervantes' text in the original.

		Now the Spanish Academy, from the sound of things, is there to make up your mind, or to help you make up your mind, by showing you what they regard as good Spanish, as good Castilian.
		As you probably picked up from the same website, there is actually an Academy in each of those regions, or a branch of them, and they certainly will have their own authorities on their language, so yes, there has to be a recognition that these exist and are part of what is also Castilian.
