		Catalan is a Romance language, with its earliest literary text, the Homilies d'Organya, dating back to about the middle of 12th century.
		In the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, Pompeu Fabra effected the regulation and grammatical systematization of the unifying norms for its spelling (1913).
		Catalan is also spoken in some areas of Aragon and Murcia and, outside Spain, in the French Roussillon region, the Principality of Andorra and in the Italian city of Alguer (Sardinia).

		The Statute also established that in Generalitat’s call for bids, knowledge of the language and civil code of the Catalans shall be a necessary condition, and exemption will not be considered whatsoever and that public attorneys and registrars posted in Catalonia must know the Catalan language and the Catalan civil code.
		In fact, Catalan not only remained transmitted within the family domain in Catalonia and the rest of the Catalan lands, but was increasingly seen as a prestige language, particularly during Franco’s last years of dictatorship, and was undoubtedly a distinctive element of the Resistance and of the pro-democracy movement.
		Such a right was not included in former statutes as it was regarded unconstitutional, but the proposed revision clearly refers to it on the grounds that rights and duties are determined by individuals considered equal, not by languages themselves, their extension and number of speakers or other circumstantial aspects.

		Under the terms of this constitutionally recognised statute, the Catalan government (the Generalitat) is empowered to establish an independent police force and has devolved responsibilities for education, health, social security, language and culture, and regional development.
		It was approved in September 2005 by 90% of the members of the Catalan parliament and is under discussion in the parliament in Madrid.
		But despite all this, on 21 January the prime minister reached an agreement with the leader of the Catalan nationalist party, and the new Catalan statute is to be adopted, with a few amendments to bring it into line with the Spanish constitution.

		The new Catalan autonomy statute was approved definitively by the Spanish parliament on May 11.
		Up to 70 per cent of the Catalans were expected to confirm the reformed statute with a yes-vote, though it was feared that a low turn-out would undermine the credibility of the referendum.
		The Catalan reform has also prompted discontent within the military, with ground forces chief Jose Mena suggesting earlier this year that the army could intervene if the region were granted a much wider autonomy.

	News from Spain: Catalans support increased autonomy
		The last referendum held in Catalonia was in 1979 when Catalans were asked to express their opinion about the statute of autonomy which was passed then and which, on the basis of the result of yesterday's referendum, will be replaced by the new one after the next regional elections.
		Amost 60 percent of catalan voters participated in the 1979 referendum, although given the fact that it was held just four years after Franco's death and so the right to vote was still very recent for Spaniards, the turn-out then wasn't very impressive either.
		The President of the Catalan coalition government Pascual Maragall told reporters that even though he would have preferred a higher level of participation, the "yes" result represented a clear victory for the Government and for Catalonia.

		Catalan is regarded by most linguists as being an Ibero-Romance language (the group that includes Spanish), but it has many features of Gallo-Romance languages such as French; it is quite similar to Provençal, which is almost always classified as Gallo-Romance.
		One of the keys to Catalan politics is the fact that Barcelona, because it attracts migrants from all over Spain and Latin America, is a majority Spanish-speaking city, particularly in working-class areas, while the rural regions, and the middle- and upper-class urban areas, remain solidly Catalan-speaking.

		Catalan is one of the two official languages of Catalonia, as established in the Catalan Statute of Autonomy [1]: the other is Spanish (Castilian), which is the language throughout Spain (its official status confirmed by the 1978 Spanish Constitution).
		Whilst these efforts have ensured that Catalan is increasingly dominant at an official and academic level, there is no evidence that they have changed the social use of the language, with people whose mother tongue is Spanish still using Spanish as their everyday language.
		Some Catalan speakers argue that this policy is necessary to protect their language in the face of residents and immigrants who fail to learn or use Catalan.

		The participatory process had three basic objectives: to explain what the Statute is and why its reform is necessary; to stimulate this participation through systematic and ordered channels; and to make a commitment to analysing all the contributions made and to put these before the parliamentary committee in charge of drafting the proposal for reform.
		Contrary to the expectations of some, the citizens have reflected with due relevance on all areas of the Statute’s content, that is to say, they have made proposals which make sense and are highly appropriate to a decree of this nature.
		In this respect, recognition is made of the work completed by town and city councils over the last 25 years, and it is urged that they should be given a more prominent role, involving an increase in their powers and the financing of local affairs.

		Meanwhile, the issue that's causing all of this fuss, the new Catalan statute of autonomy, or the "Estatut" is slowly being hammered out in parliament.
		The Catalans in turn feel that the only reason Spain is so keen to hold on to the region is that it acts as a cash cow for the rest of the country.
