About Catalan

Catalan is spoken in Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Islands and Alghero in Sardinia, and is the only official language of Andorra. Its nearest relative is Occitan and it also shares characteristics in grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary with other Romance languages like Sardinian, Spanish and Italian. Catalan plays a key role in the Catalan national identity and from 1979 to 2012 was the only language of instruction in Catalonia, giving fluency to an entire generation.

Fun facts — Catalan

Speaking Catalan was banned under Franco's rule and people would only speak it in the secrecy of their homes.
If only a few people turn up to an event, you might hear someone describe it as 'quatre gats' - which literally translates as 'four cats'.
If someone invites you to 'fer el vermut' - do the vermouth - then they're inviting you out for a drink - not necessarily vermouth - and a snack and a chat.
