Catalan Language Law

The Catalan Language Law establishes that Catalan is the official language of Catalonia, alongside Spanish, and mandates its use in government, education, and public administration. It aims to promote and normalise Catalan in daily life, cultural activities, and legal contexts, ensuring accessibility and linguistic equality. The law also sets guidelines for the use of Catalan in media, business, and public signage, fostering cultural identity and linguistic diversity within the region. It balances the promotion of Catalan with respect for individual language choices, reflecting Catalonia's desire to preserve and strengthen its linguistic heritage.
