Languages Spoken In Spain

Choosing Spain as a tour destination is a great idea and there is actually a lot that you can achieve by taking a tour in Spain. Knowing what to expect will also go a long way into ensuring that you do not get any unpleasant surprises.

Spain is a country that is very diverse. All the regions of Spain operate autonomously and it is therefore no wonder that you may find many different languages spoken in different parts of Spain. These are the little things you should know about so that you do not get confused during your tour.

The universal and official language in Spain is actually Spanish but it gets a little complicated than that. Spanish forms part of the romance language family. Other languages under this category include Romanian, French, Occitan, Italian, Catalan, Galician, and Portuguese. A lot of people especially away from Castile call it Castellano (Castilian).

Other languages spoken in Spain include Austrian, Galician, Basque and Catalan. Some of the languages dominate the areas in which they are spoken. The languages are recognized as co-official alongside Castilian. Galician, Basque and Catalan are official languages according to the Spanish constitution. If you speak Castilian, the other languages will be quite easy to understand. Basque is the only language which has a debated origin while the others are all romance languages.

The trick here is to learn even some of the Spanish words. You will be quickly endeared to the locals if you show some effort of learning the local languages.

Catalan is quite a distinct language. It is very similar to Castilian although it is closer to Oc branch of Romance languages. Many people categorize it under a dialect that spans across Italy Spain and France. When one listens to Catalan, he may think that the language is a cross between French and Castilian. It is however a language by its own but shares the features of both French and Castilian.

Galician is a language that closely relates to Portuguese. It is widely spoken in Galicia and Asturias at the western portion. Galician forms part of the Galician- Portuguese family. Many of the Galicians refer to their language as Spanish.

Basque cannot be connected or related to any other language in Spain or any other part of the world. There are three provinces within the Basque country that speak Basque. The language is unclassified and is what can be called a linguistic isolate. This is because it cannot be categorized under any branch of the language family.
