Some explanations about Catalan![]() The Catalan flagCatalan (in Catalan: Català) is a Roman language that has between 9.1 and 11.5 million of speakers in Catalonia, the Valencian Community (Valencia where it is called) in the Balearic Islands, in a small part of Aragon (the All of Ponent), Andorra (where it is the only official language) in most of the Pyrenees-Orientales and Sardenya Alghero. The origin of the language comes from the basic Latin spoken in the Catalan Pyrenees (about 900 pc) ![]() The other Catalan emblemContrary to the Castilian which prevailed in most of Spain, Catalan was born in Catalonia and claims strongly its official recognition, which was raised after the death of Franco. This recognition was also asked by the Spanish government to the European Commission in 2004. Currently, within the institutions of the European Union and United Nations it can be used while Catalan is not an official language. Writing and spellingCatalan uses the Latin alphabet, which include digraphs, diacritics (acute accent, grave accent, the point 'ela geminate', cedilla, umlaut) and diacritical points (u after g and q, i before x and g). There are many diphthongs represented by pairs of vowels. PronunciationNe sont indiquées que les principales différences entre le français et le catalan central, proche de la variante barcelonaise.
