 | | Catalan, Galician, Aranese (Occitan) and Castilian are all descended from Latin and some of them have their own dialects, some championed as separate languages by their speakers. |
 | | A particular case is the Valencian, name given to a variety of Catalan, that also has the co-official language status recognized in Autonomous Community of Valencia. |
