Languages of Spain
The majority of languages of Spain belong to the Romance language family, of which Spanish is the sole one with official status as the national language. Others, including Catalan/Valencian (in Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands) and Galician (in Galicia), enjoy official status in their respective autonomous regions, similar to Basque in the northeast of the country (a non-Romance language isolate). A number of other languages and dialects belonging to the Romance continuum exist in Spain, such as Aragonese, Asturian, Fala and Occitan (sometimes called Provençal).
