TheDiccionario Panhispánico de dudas (DPD; English:Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of Doubts or ...of Difficulties) is an elaborate work undertaken by theRoyal Spanish Academy and theAssociation of Academies of the Spanish Language with the goal of resolving questions related to the proper use of theSpanish language. Like other publications of the academy, such as theDiccionario de la lengua española, the work follows alinguistically prescriptive philosophy as opposed to adescriptive one.[1] The first edition was published in 2005 and is now being revised to more properly align with principles set forth by the academy's other publications.
The project was begun in response to the 50,000 questions received yearly by the constituent members of the Association of Spanish Language Academies.[2]
