A language council, also known as a language regulator or a language academy, is an organisation that performs language planning or regulation. Some language councils are national and tied to a specific state, while councils without association to any country where the language is dominant also exist.[1] Some language academies may be presciptivist.[2] The exact functions varies from organisation to organisation and may include the establishment or promotion of an official or national language or orthography, research and documentation.[3]
