      “Spanish has a supreme authority.” Ah, the RAE. This will likely be another thread, in case you want to follow along.https://twitter.com/final_station/status/943654904245006336 …

      Latino when used in plural or any plural word like Mexicanos is genderless already. It’s just that people don’t seem to know that in the states. Spanish has a supreme authority in the Real Academia and according to their rules it is without gender.

      The Royal Spanish Authority, known as the RAE for its Spanish-language acronym, is a group of people who dictate the rules of Spanish. This is what the all-white RAE, which is protected by the crown, looks like.pic.twitter.com/b8dCcbwX9G

      The RAE is based in Spain yet many Spanish speakers all over the world consider it a “supreme authority.”

      The RAE is harshly prescriptive in its approach; that is, it has dinosaur-like rules that attempt to keep the Spanish language “clean” and “normative.” Those are their words, not mine. These notions are closely tied to racial purity and pure bloodedness.

      The RAE is basically a neocolonial language police. It doesn’t go by the words, styles, and grammars that are actually used in its former colonies. It relies instead on its own little rules.

      A lot of people are, instead, descriptivist when it comes to language. When it comes to living languages like Spanish, we acknowledge that words, styles, and grammar are bound to not only change but also be challenged.

      For RAE, just like for some many Latino men who feel threatened by it, Latinx is not a word. It’s possible, of course, that ignoring a word long enough makes it go away. But I doubt that’s what will happen with Latinx.

      Latinx has a definition. It’s a recognizable part of speech. It’s used in dialogue in different countries and it’s very visible online. We’ve seen it in print, including in legacy publications. By use, and by definition, Latinx is a word. Sorry not sorry, RAE.

          Serious question: How do you say it? The pronunciation of neologisms like “nosotres” is easy to grasp, but I don’t know how Latinx sounds.

          I learned in colloquial writing, you can use @ as in amig@s, Mexican@s. But you can't speak it.
