What is the name of the French organisation that stops English words entering their language?
The Académie française, often called simply l’Académie, is an organization which moderates the French language. The primary role of the Académie française is to regulate the French language by determining standards of acceptable grammar and vocabulary, as well as adapting to linguistic change by adding new words and updating the meanings of existing ones. Due to the status of English in the world, the Académie’s task tends to be focused on lessening the influx of English terms into French by choosing or inventing French equivalents.
