Aranese ((オック語:Aranés)) is a standardized form of the Pyrenean Gascon variety of the Occitan language spoken in the Val d'Aran, in northwestern Catalonia close to the Spanish border with France, where it is one of the three official languages beside Catalan and Spanish. In 2010, it was named the third official language of the whole of Catalonia by Parliament of Catalonia.〔("El aranés se convierte en la tercera lengua oficial de Cataluña" ), ''El País'', Barcelona, 22 September 2010. Retrieved on 22 August 2014. 〕 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''. ==Usage== According to a 2001 linguistic census by the Aranese government, about 90% of the inhabitants of Val d'Aran can understand the language, with those between 25 and 34 years old having the lowest rate, at around 80% (excluding those under the age of 4). Between 60 and 65% of the population can speak it, however, only 26% reported being able to write in Aranese.〔 In 2008, the Generalitat of Catalonia surveyed the population (15 years old or older) in the Val d'Aran. The survey reports that 78.2% of the population can understand Aranese, 56.8% can speak it, 59.4% can read and 34.8% can write the language.〔( Enquesta d'usos lingüístics de la població 2008 (EULP 2008) ), Generalitat de Catalunya, 29 June 2009. Retrieved 25 August 2014. 〕 Once considered to be an endangered language,〔("Aranese language becomes the 3rd co-official language in Catalonia" ), ''Catalan News Agency'', 2010. Retrieved on 22 August 2014.〕 spoken mainly by older people, it is now experiencing a renaissance; it enjoys co-official status with Catalan and Spanish within Val d'Aran, and since 1984 has been taught bilingually alongside Castilian in schools.〔("Curriculum der Aranés" ), "Conselh Generau d'Aran", 12 February 1998. Retrieved on 24 August 2014. ''(Aranese)''〕 Students in the Val d'Aran are required to have 2 hours of each Spanish, Catalan and Aranese each week. At some levels of education, a foreign language is added to the three official languages—usually French due to proximity—and sometimes even 2 additional hours of English. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aranese dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
