The Akademia Nasionala del Ladino (ANL) (English: National Academy of Judeo-Spanish, Spanish: Academia Nacional del Judeoespañol, Hebrew: האקדמיה הלאומית הישראלית ללאדינו) is an academic body in Israel affiliated with the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language in Spain that promotes the preservation, study, and use of the Ladino language, also known as Judeo-Spanish. It collaborates with the Autoridad Nasionala del Ladino, also based in Israel, established by the Israeli government in the 1990s.
The creation of the academy was generally seen as a landmark in the Ladino-speaking community, as it marked the point that the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) recognized Ladino as a language that was equal to other Spanish dialects.[1]
