Catalan is a Romance language spoken by an estimated nine to ten million people. It is co-official in the Spanish regions of Catalonia, Valencia, where it is officially called Valencian, and the Balearic Islands, and it is the sole official language of Andorra. Smaller communities speak it in the Roussillon area of southern France and in the city of Alghero on Sardinia. Catalan developed from Latin alongside its neighbours but is a distinct language, not a dialect of Spanish; in some respects its vocabulary sits closer to Occitan and French. It is written in the Latin alphabet and has a continuous literary record stretching back to the Middle Ages. Catalan-language schooling, publishing and broadcasting are well established, particularly in Catalonia.
