 | | Occitan, in its Aranese variety (a dialect of Gascon) is official and subject to special protection in the Aran Valley, which is notable, as this small region of 7,000 is the only place where Occitan (majoritarily spoken in France and some Italian valleys) has full official status. |
 | | By age groups, those between 10 and 29 have the higher level of literacy (e.g., 98.2% aged 10-14 understand it, and 85.2% can write it), this is attributed to the individuals in this group having received their full education in Catalan. |
 | | The situation is analogous with regards to written skills, with central Catalonia scoring the highest percentages (61.4%), and Barcelona the lowest (46.4%). |
