Catalán...
"Catalán is spoken by about 5 million people in Catalonia and
Valencia in north-eastern Spain, on the Balearic Islands, and in
the tiny mountainous state of Andorra (where it is the official
language).   It is also spoken beyond the Pyrenees in Catalonian
France by about 200,000 people.   Deriving its name from the
castles which are so common in this historic region, Catalonia
was a powerful trading center during the Middle Ages.   It re-
mained vigorously but sporadically independent until its in-
corporation into the Spanish State.   Catalan art and architecture
flourished during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.   A
literary tradition, beginning with the troubador poets of the 12th
century, has been maintained up to the present, although driven
underground by a ban on Catalan literature in Spain.

A Romance language, Catalán is related to French, Provençal,
and Spanish.   Dialectal differences can be noted in spoken
Catalan, and the dialect of Castille has been heavily influenced
by Spanish.

Catalan translations of portions of the Bible were made during
the 13th century, under the influence of the Waldensian move-
ment; of these, some 14th century manuscripts survive.
