Spanish Language Academy rejects proposal to change 'Spanish' to 'Ñamericano'

The director of the Spanish Royal Academy rejected a suggestion to rename the Spanish language to "Ñamericano" to reflect where most of its speakers live.
The Spanish Royal Academy publishes the authoritative Spanish dictionary and determines proper usage and changes in the language.
The Academy has forbidden the use of feminine or gender-neutral terms for traditionally masculine words and works to limit the influence of English on Spanish.
Though the Academy aims to represent Spanish as spoken throughout Latin America, its leadership remains centered in Spain.
The Academy frequently debates the use of inclusive language, like using the feminine "todas" instead of the masculine "todos" to mean "everyone," though its director has dismissed such changes as "political."
