In Spain, there are 4 official languages: Castillian (what we know as Spanish), Catalan, Basque, and Galician. Though Spanish is spoken and written all over the country, the three other regional languages are used in addition to Spanish in certain parts of the country. In Barcelona, for example, you will see signs written in Catalan and hear people speak Catalan on the street.

Spanish, Catalan, and Galician are all Romance languages and are derived from Latin, so they have linguistic similarities. Basque is completely different.

Catalan is spoken in Catalunya, in the northeastern part of Spain (including Barcelona, as mentioned before).

Galician is spoken in Galicia, in the northwestern part of Spain, due north of Portugal.

Basque is spoken in the Basque Country, in the north near the French border. This includes the city of Bilbao.

What Spanish dialect is spoken in Spain?

Dialects are a variation of the same language. In Spain the basic language is Spanish. Andalucia is one basic dialect but believe it or not there are dialects within Andalucia so distinct that a specific village can be identified. Castillian is a dialect also. It just happens to be the dialect recognized by the Spanish Royal Academy as the correct way to speak Spanish. There are other dialects in the same areas where regional languages are spoken. Regional languages spoken in Spain are not Spanish languages, they are differant languages. They are Catalonia (around Barcelona), Galician (around Bilbao), and Basque which is spoken in the area between the other two languages.
