Catalan Language in Education (In Transit #27)Miqui Mel
The issue of Catalan language in education is controversial in Spain. Catalonia has adopted a model where Catalan is the primary language of instruction to ensure students learn both Catalan and Spanish, while the Valencian region allows parents to choose the language of instruction. Pressure from Spanish nationalist politicians to reduce the role of Catalan in education has increased in recent years, including court rulings limiting its use and new laws in the Balearic Islands. Supporters argue the Catalan model works and students learn both languages well, but opponents claim it denies the right to choose Spanish.

1. Spanish Speaking Countries around the World
Spoken by 400 million people worldwide, Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in
the world -- in fact it is the second most spoken language coming in runner up to Chinese
(Mandarin).
But where Spanish really packs a punch is on the number of Spanish speaking countries that use
it as their official language. Currently, 20 countries around the world use Spanish as their official
tongue.
Impressive as that may seem, English, with 59, tops the chart of languages with the highest
number of countries using it as their official language. French -- spoken by 29 countries -- and
Arabic -- spoken by 27 -- complete the top 3 ahead of Spanish.
So, what does ‘official language’ mean? According to the Cambridge English Dictionary it refers
to “the language or one of the languages that is accepted by a country's government, is taught in
schools, used in the courts of law, etc.”
Countries can, therefore, have more than one official language, as is the case in Canada where
both French and English have been official languages since the first Official Languages Act was
enacted in 1969.
2. Bolivia, however, takes official languages to the extreme with a whopping 39 registered
languages, giving primacy to Spanish.
The country's high count of official languages is mainly due to their diverse range of indigenous
languages which they seek to acknowledge and strive to preserve.
Spanish Speaking Countries and their Capital Cities
Here is a full list, in alphabetical order, of the 20 countries where Spanish is the official
language, along with their capital cities.
If you want to up your general knowledge, or boss the Geography questions in Trivial Pursuit
then this one's for you.
Note that alongside the countries the respective Academy of Language is listed where applicable.
These Academies form part of the Asociación de Academias de la Lengua Española (ASALE) or
Association of the Spanish Language Academies, founded in 1951.
The association’s purpose is to maintain the integrity, diffusion and growth of the Spanish
language.
