Aranese Language

Curiosity · Vielha e Mijaran, Val d'Aran, Lleida

Aranese is the Occitan variety native to the Aran Valley, official in Catalonia together with Catalan and Castilian. Its linguistic standard is set by the Institut d'Estudis Aranesos - Acadèmia Aranesa de la Llengua Occitana, based in Vielha, created in 2002 and under the Conselh Generau d'Aran, which recognised it as the linguistic authority for Aranese in 2008, a recognition confirmed in 2010 by the Law of l'occità, aranès a l'Aran. In January 2014 the Generalitat de Catalunya granted it the status of academy and linguistic authority, tasked with establishing and updating the standard for the Aranese variety of Occitan, in accordance with the principles of Loís Alibèrt's grammar.
