( Aranese language)
Aranese (Occitan aranés) is a standardized form of the Pyrenean Gascon variety of the Occitan language spoken in Val d'Aran, in northwestern Catalonia on the border between Spain and France, where it is one of the three official languages besides Catalan and Spanish. Once considered to be an endangered language[citation needed], spoken mainly by older people, it is now experiencing a renaissance; it enjoys co-official status with Catalan and Spanish within the Val d'Aran, and since 1984 has been taught in schools. About 90% of the inhabitants of the Aran Valley can understand it, and about 65% can speak it. The official spellings of towns in Val d'Aran are Aranese, for example, the Aranese spelling Vielha is used on maps and road signs instead of the Catalan and Spanish Viella.
