	[[Category:Spain\| ]]		== Aranese ==

			Aranese (Occitan: Aranés) is a standardized form of the Pyrenean Gascon variety of the Occitan language spoken in the Vall d'Aran, in north western Catalonia on the border between Spain and France, where it is one of the three official languages besides Catalan and Spanish. Recently, it was named the third official language of the whole of Catalonia by the Parliament of Catalonia.

			Once considered to be an endangered language, spoken mainly by older people, it is now experiencing a renaissance; it enjoys co-official status with Catalan and Spanish within Vall d'Aran.

			''Since 1984 it has been taught bilingually alongside Castilian in schools.''

			About 90% of the inhabitants of Vall d'Aran can understand it, and about 65% can speak it.

			The official spellings of towns in Vall d'Aran are Aranese; for example, the Aranese spelling Vielha is used on maps and road signs instead of the Catalan and Spanish Viella.

			Most Aranese are also fluent in Catalan, [[Spanish]], and to a lesser extent also in [[French]].
