The Aragonese are an indigenous Romance ethnic group originating in the historical region of Aragon, between central and the northeastern Spain. Their native Aragonese language, which might have been spoken in the whole of the Kingdom of Aragon, Kingdom of Navarre, and La Rioja in the Middle Ages, is presently an endangered language.
Most Aragonese speak the Spanish language in its northern form but with some regional traits, particularly in intonation and vocabulary. In the easternmost areas, La Franja, varieties of the Catalan language are spoken by about the 90% of the Population.[1] Unlike in other Autonomous Communities of Spain, no law has officialized either Aragonese or Catalan.
