Language: Catalan
is spoken in northeastern Spain, in the Balearic Islands, in Andorra, and in a
small part of France. All Valencians, Catalans and Balearics have the duty to
know Catalan and the right to use it, as it is the co-official language along
with Castilian. Historically it was the language of Catalonia, the region that
includes Barcelona, but today its speakers extend down the Spanish coast as far
as the province of Valencia and is spoken extensively in Oliva. For more information

Castilian is the official language of the whole of Spain. All Spaniards have the
duty to know it and the right to use it. Declared the official language of Spain
by Philip V in 1714, it is usually known as Spanish, a name that was already used
in the Middle Ages in Castile, and frequently by the grammarians and authors of
the 16th and 17th centuries.
