Academia Ecuatoguineana de la Lengua Española

The Constitution of Equatorial Guinea codifies the status of Spanish as a national official language.

[3] Since 2009, Equatorial Guinea has participated in the Ibero-American Summit as an "associate member" in light of its cultural and linguistic connection with the nations of Hispanic America.

[5] In 2007, the Real Academia Española invited two academics from the National University of Equatorial Guinea to its international summit with the intent that they serve as representatives of their country to the RAE.

[7][8][9] Subsequently, the institution was officially established in October 2013 by Presidential Decree number 163/2013.

[10] It was also announced that the official RAE dictionary of Spanish would, for the first time, include selected words of Equatoguinean origin.
