Catalan is a Gallo-Iberian member of the Italic subgroup of the Indo-European language family spoken by 6.4 million first-language speakers and as many as 10 million speakers in total. Catalan is also known as Català, Bacaves and Catalonian and is one of the group of western neo-Latin languages, together with French, Portuguese and Spanish, the most widely-spoken languages in the same family. Catalan is spoken in a large area (68,000 km2) in the east of Spain (Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, Valencia, the Franja - the area in Aragon bordering on Catalonia - and other municipalities in Murcia that border on Valencia), Andorra, the south of France (North Catalonia – the Department of Pyrénées Orientales) and in the Sardinian city of l'Alguer (Alghero). Catalan in all its variants is spoken over an area with a population of 10 million.
