To the esteemed developers and language designers at OpenAI:
I humbly write to propose the inclusion of a new language variant within ChatGPT’s linguistic palette: Castellano Clásico, or Classical Castilian —a stylistic and grammatical register rooted in the Spanish of the 16th and 17th centuries, as used by great literary figures of the Golden Age (Siglo de Oro) such as Miguel de Cervantes, Francisco de Quevedo, Garcilaso de la Vega, and Lope de Vega.
Why this matters:
- It provides a unique educational and cultural tool for users interested in classical literature, historical language, or rhetorical training.
- It enables students and writers to engage in and practice a form of Spanish that is increasingly rare, yet of tremendous value.
- It celebrates linguistic diversity and supports the preservation of traditional and literary forms of communication.
Suggested Implementation:
- Add a “Castellano Clásico” style under the language or tone options in ChatGPT.
- The system would adopt vocabulary, syntax, and orthographic forms from early modern Spanish texts.
- The mode could be toggled like “Formal”, “Casual”, or “Professional”, but specifically for historic Castilian.
What is “Classical Castilian”?
Classical Castilian is a literary and historical form of the Spanish language used between the 16th and 17th centuries, during the Spanish Golden Age (Siglo de Oro). It is marked by:
- Elevated grammar and syntax
- Archaisms and poetic expressions
- Philosophical and rhetorical flourishes
- A lexicon consistent with early modern Spanish (as codified by early editions of the RAE)
It was the language of Cervantes, of the Quijote, and of the early Spanish empire. Preserving and making this mode of speech accessible contributes not only to education but to cultural and artistic enrichment.
Example Output (generated by ChatGPT in Classical Castilian):
“En la vastedad del universo, los destinos del hombre son tan inciertos como las estrellas que en la noche brillan, y es menester que nos aferremos a la sabiduría para hallar el camino, pues de otro modo, seremos como hojas llevadas por el viento del olvido.”
Generated by ChatGPT – Estilo: Castellano Clásico.
I kindly urge you to consider this proposal, not merely as a stylistic flourish, but as a meaningful and enriching extension of ChatGPT’s capabilities for education, culture, and linguistic art.
Yours sincerely,
