  • The Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung (RdR; German for "Council for German Orthography") is the main international body regulating the German language. With its seat being in Mannheim, Germany, the RdR was formed in 2004 as a successor to the Zwischenstaatliche Kommission für deutsche Rechtschreibung ("Intergovernmental Commission for German Orthography") in order to comprise proponents as well as opponents to the German orthography reform of 1996 (and subsequent reforms). Currently the RdR is composed of 39 members from the following states and regions: File:Flag of Germany. svg Germany: 18 councillors File:Flag of Austria. svg Austria: 9 councillors File:Flag of Switzerland. svg Switzerland: 9 councillors File:Flag of South Tyrol. png Province of Bolzano-Bozen - South Tyrol: 1 councillor German-speaking Community of Belgium: 1 councillor File:Flag of Liechtenstein. svg Liechtenstein: 1 councillor Despite having German as one of its official languages, Luxembourg, which has already not been involved in devising the reform of 1996, is not part of the council. The government of Luxembourg unilaterally adopted the reform and, due to its efficiency, it is well-accepted by the country's teachers. According to the duchy's largest newspaper, the Luxemburger Wort, Luxembourg does not perceive itself as a "German-speaking country" (the only national language is Luxembourgish) and thus had no right to take part in the council. However, it is interesting to note, that Luxembourg does participate in the Francophonie and has members in the Académie française on the other hand, despite French being only an official language as well.
  • Der Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung (RDR) wurde als Nachfolger der Zwischenstaatlichen Kommission für deutsche Rechtschreibung von Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz, Südtirol, Liechtenstein und der deutschsprachigen Gemeinschaft Belgiens gemeinsam eingerichtet.
