Besides Spainish, what other language is spoken in the northern part of Spain?
In addition to Spanish, the northern part of Spain is home to several regional languages. The most notable ones are:
1. Basque (Euskara): This is the most prominent non-Spanish language spoken in northern Spain. Basque is an ancient language with no known linguistic relatives. It is primarily spoken in the Basque Country (País Vasco/Euskadi) region, which includes cities such as Bilbao, San Sebastián, and Vitoria-Gasteiz.
2. Galician (Galego): Galician is spoken in the region of Galicia, which is located in the northwest corner of Spain. It is closely related to Portuguese and has strong historical and cultural ties to the neighboring country of Portugal.
These regional languages have co-official status alongside Spanish in their respective regions and are actively used in various domains, such as education, government, media, and everyday communication.
