- Two international languages spoken by millions of people outside Iberia (Portuguese and Spanish).
- Areas where we can observe a dialectal continuum between different Romance languages.
- Romance languages in close contact (Galician, Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, etc.).
- Political questions related to the use of language (Catalan).
- Languages in the process of standardization (Bable, Aragonese, etc.).
- Tension regarding the status of different linguistic varieties (Valencian).
- A language isolate of uncertain origin (Basque).
We also have a British colony speaking a mixture of English and French (llanito, in Gibraltar), a small country with Catalan as the sole official language, but with a lot of Spanish, French and Portuguese speakers, etc. All of this is very well documented.
This blog is about all of that — and much more. Enjoy!
