Ricardo Palma actively lobbied the Real Academia Española to formally accept Peruvian linguistic contributions, documenting them in his works.
Palma was a staunch defender of peruanismos, documenting these usages in works like Papeletas lexicográficas and Neologismos y americanismos. He campaigned for recognition by the Real Academia Española of the Latin-American and Peruvian contributions to the Spanish language. The supplied passages do not date this advocacy to 1887; its temporal association with the Academy's founding year is inferred rather than sourced.
