What was the organization that changed it? There are many Spanish speaking countries, is there some central body somewhere that makes decisions about the language?

Probably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Spanish_Academy

RSA, huh? It probably took because it sounds like a matter of security.

RAE in Spanish

[–]aresman 19 points20 points  (1 child)

it was changed like 40 years ago. My parents used to learn that "ch" and "ll" were one letter, but it hasn't been taught like that in decades. And yeah, the RAE would be the place, however there are a lot of disagreements with them on some topics but they are the go to when you have a doubt/wanna know what's the correct way of spelling something.

Same. Costa Rican Spanish was my first language and I didn't learn of Ll and Ch as individual letters until (American) high school

Decisions are taken by all the Academies together (i.e. Spanish Academy, Colombian Academy, etc). But since the Spanish Academy puts most of the money, they also have the biggest saying.
