The legacy of Pompeu Fabra, the great architect of the reform and standardization of the Catalan language, remains an undeniable reference. Through his writings, his constant concern for orthographic, syntactic, and lexical issues, essential foundations for the consolidation of modern Catalan, is perceived. His dedication is reflected in his correspondence, such as that maintained with Francesc Matheu in 1934, where he accepted the presidency of the Jocs Florals de Barcelona on the condition that his speech be published under the rules of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans.

Fabra's humanity, thoughtfulness, and tenacity are traits highlighted by figures like Joan Coromines, who described him as a man with strong political and national convictions. In a letter to Joan Sales, Fabra already referred to the spoken language as a treasure, an idea he reiterated in an article in La Vanguardia in 1892, stating that modern literary Catalan should be the spoken language, purifying its vocabulary and syntax.

His silent but constant struggle was directed against the submission of Catalan to the interferences of Castilian and the penetration of Castilianisms, a phenomenon that had worsened with the imposition of Castilian and the construction of the liberal State. Fabra built a gigantic body of work to combat this homogenizing model.

Currently, Fabra's memory resonates strongly in the face of the practice of certain political leaders who, in their statements in Castilian, do not respect Catalan place names. This attitude, which has been criticized by the Minister of Linguistic Policy, is considered improper for a president of Catalonia and a disregard for the territory's own language.
