Amazon Academy of Letters, Language regulation institution in Manaus, Brazil.
The Amazon Academy of Letters occupies a building in downtown Manaus, where it maintains standards for Portuguese language usage in the Amazon region.
Four distinguished intellectuals, including Coriolano Durand and Pericles Moraes, established the Amazon Academy of Letters in 1918 to promote regional literature.
The institution organizes regular meetings for authors, linguists, and scholars to discuss Portuguese language development and literary contributions from Amazonian writers.
Visitors can access the Academy's extensive collection of regional literature and linguistic resources during regular weekday operating hours.
The Academy received recognition from CEDPHA and COMPPAC for its dual role in language regulation and preservation of Amazonian cultural heritage.
