About the language

Catalan is spoken in Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands and Alghero in Sardinia, and is the only official language of Andorra. Its nearest relative is Occitan and it also shares characteristics in grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary with other Romance languages like Sardinian, Spanish and Italian. Catalan plays a key role in the Catalan national identity and from 1979 to 2012 was the only language of instruction in Catalonia, giving fluency to an entire generation.

Catalan

known in the Valencian Community and Carche as Valencian (autonym: valencià), is a Western Romance language. It is the official language of Andorra,  and an official language of three autonomous communities in eastern SpainCatalonia, the Valencian Community, and the Balearic Islands. It also has semi-official status in the Italian comune of Alghero. It is also spoken in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of France and in two further areas in eastern Spain: the eastern strip of Aragon and the Carche area in the Region of Murcia. The Catalan-speaking territories are often called the Països Catalans or “Catalan Countries”.

The language evolved from Vulgar Latin in the Middle Ages around the eastern Pyrenees. Nineteenth-century Spain saw a Catalan literary revival, culminating in the early 1900s.

Fun facts of language

  • Speaking Catalan was banned under Franco’s rule and people would only speak it in the secrecy of their homes.
  • If only a few people turn up to an event, you might hear someone describe it as ‘quatre gats’ – which literally translates as ‘four cats’.
  • If someone invites you to ‘fer el vermut’ – do the vermouth – then they’re inviting you out for a drink – not necessarily vermouth – and a snack and a chat.
