Blog Post #5-Spain's Language

Posted by Arlana Brown in Spanish 3 - Gierke on

​For this final blog post I wanted to focus on Spain's Language. When I started my research I found a lot of interesting things. Here are my findings:

If you think that Spanish and Castilian are Spain official language your only partially right. Because Spain has actually three official languages(Euskara, Catalan, Galician) which are not only used in Spain. Euskara is the most unusual language in Spain and only about 600,000 speak Euskara. Catalan is not only spoken in Spain but in Andorra(national language) and about 4 million people use it as their first language. Galician is really similar to Portuguese. To understand Galician about 85% people understand it and 3 million of 4 million speak it in Spain.


Euskara:

Hello(Kaixo)
Thank You(Eskerrik Asko)
Yes(Bai)
No(Ez)
House(Etxe)
Catalan:
Yes(Sí)
Please(Si us plau)
Llengo(language)
Midnight(Mitjanit)

Galician:

Egg(ovo)

No(nom)
Hello(ola)
