Languages of Catalonia
There are four languages with official status in Catalonia (an autonomous community of Spain): Catalan; Spanish- which is official throughout Spain; Aranese, a dialect of Occitan spoken in the Aran Valley; and Catalan Sign Language. Many other languages are spoken in Catalonia as a result of recent immigration from all over the world.

A 2004 poll in Valencia found that a majority of the population in this region considered Valencian to be a different language to Catalan. In 2015, the Spanish newspaper "ABC" reported that the Catalan government of Artur Mas had spent millions of euros to promote Catalanism in Valencia over the previous three years.
