Valencian ( or ; endonym: ''valencià'', ''llengua valenciana'', or ''idioma valencià'') is the variety of Catalan as spoken in the Valencian Community, Spain. In the Valencian Community, Valencian is the traditional language and is co-official with Spanish. It is often considered a distinct language from Catalan by people from the Valencian Community; however, linguists consider it a dialect of Catalan. A standardized form exists, based on the Southern Valencian dialect. Valencian belongs to the Western group of Catalan dialects. Under the Valencian Statute of Autonomy, the Valencian Academy of the Language (''Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua, AVL'') has been established as its regulator. The AVL considers ''Catalan'' and ''Valencian'' to be simply two names for the same language.〔(''"Dictamen de l'Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua sobre els principis i criteris per a la defensa de la denominació i l'entitat del valencià"'' ). Report from Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua about denomination and identity of Valencian.〕 Some of the most important works of Valencian literature experienced a golden age during the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Important works include Joanot Martorell's chivalric romance ''Tirant lo Blanch'', and Ausiàs March's poetry. The first book produced with movable type in the Iberian Peninsula was printed in the Valencian variety.〔''Trobes en llaors de la Verge Maria'' ("Poems of praise of the Virgin Mary") 1474.〕 == Official status == The official status of Valencian is regulated by the Spanish Constitution and the Valencian Statute of Autonomy, together with the Law of Use and Education of Valencian. Article 6 of the Valencian Statute of Autonomy sets the legal status of Valencian, providing that:〔(Estatuto de Autonomía de la Comunitat Valenciana )〕 : *''The official language of the Valencian Community is Valencian.''〔"La lengua propia de la Comunitat Valenciana es el valenciano."〕 : *''Valencian is official within the Valencian Community, along with Spanish, which is the official language nationwide. Everyone shall have the right to know it and use it, and receive education in Valencian.'' : *''No one can be discriminated against by reason of their language''. : *''Special protection and respect shall be given to the recuperation of Valencian''. : *''The Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua shall be the normative institution of the Valencian language''. The Law of Use and Education of Valencian develops this frame work, providing for implementation of a bilingual educational system, and regulating the use of Valencian in the public administration and judiciary system, where citizens can freely use it when acting before both. Valencian is not one of the recognized languages of the European Union (24 official and 26 minority languages). 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「Valencian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
