What is the valencian?

The Valencian is a language spoken in the Valencian Community, which includes the regions of Valencia, Alicante, and Castellón in eastern Spain. It is considered a variety of Catalan, although it has its own particular characteristics and differences from the standard Catalan spoken in Catalonia. Valencian has its own spelling system, which is similar to Catalan but with some slight differences. It is recognized by the Spanish government as an official language, along with Castilian (Spanish), and is the language of instruction in many schools in the Valencian Community. Valencian culture, history, and identity are closely tied to the language, which has a rich literary tradition dating back to the Middle Ages.
