mapsontheweb:The 22 member states of the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language, the formal collective body which that preserves and regulates use of the Spanish language. augustus-rusWhy is Israel in this map? Not too many speakers of Spanish…1.6% according to Wiki.Wikipedia about the ASALE shows that they’re the most recent member (specifically the article hasn’t been updated and said they’ll petition to be a full member likely in 2019). And it is literally an association of academies that govern the language to maintain common standards. So while it makes sense that it would be comprised of countries with large populations speaking the language, seems like if you get a group of academics together and want to get involved then it might happen. -- source link
