The Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua[a] ("Valencian Academy of the Language"), also known by the acronym AVL, is an institution created on 16 September 1998, by the Valencian Parliament, which belongs to the set of official institutions that compose the Generalitat Valenciana, according to the Act of Autonomy of the Valencian Community.
The headquarters of the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua are in Valencia.
The AVL linguistic rule does not differ a great deal from the IEC (Institute for Catalan Studies) standards.
Nevertheless, AVL grammar (Gramàtica normativa valenciana) includes some specific features of Valencian syntax, and its dictionary (Diccionari normatiu valencià) contains thousands of words which are specific for the Valencian variety, as well as Valencian specific verb conjugation and some accent marks which differ from the Catalan language in Catalonia.
