In addition to these 27 letters, Spanish also uses accents (á, é, í, ó, ú) and the dieresis (ü) to indicate pronunciation or to distinguish between words that are otherwise spelled alike. The Royal Spanish Academy (Real Academia Española) is the institution responsible for overseeing the Spanish language and any modifications or updates to its grammar, spelling, and usage.
