The Polish Language Council (Rada Języka Polskiego in Polish) is the official language regulating organ of the Polish language. It was formed on September 9, 1996 as an advisory body to the Polish Academy of Sciences. It is composed of 30 scientists, linguists and other specialists. The main tasks of the council are:
- promoting knowledge of the Polish language
- making decisions on disputes over elements of the language
- establishment and control over the creation of new words (most notably the scientific and technical terminology)
- review of texts published by the Polish media and public administration
- taking care of the language culture in Polish language schools
Apart from the linguists, the council includes also specialists in other fields, including lawyers, art historians, informaticians or physicians.
