What percent of the population in Spain speak castilian?

Castile is one of the three original kingdoms that united to form modern Spain. The other two kingdoms were Leon and Aragon.

Castilian Spanish is a Spanish dialect spoken generally in, and around, the province of Castile, and it is difficult to establish a percentage. The Royal Academy has declared it to be "Proper" Spanish.

There are hundreds of other Spanish dialects within the country. In fact, sometimes you find a different dialect in cities as little as 20 miles apart, and peoples origins are recognized based on their accent or pronunciation. These dialects are still Spanish and virtually everyone in the country speaks Spanish..

However, this does not mean it is the native language or mother tongue of everyone. There are several other languages with official recognition. These are Galician, Basque, and Catalan. Galician is spoken in Galicia, Basque is spoken in the Basque Country and Navarra, and Catalan is spoken in Cataluña, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands. Still more languages exist without any official recognition, such as Asturian is Asturias, Aragonese in Aragon, Leonese in Castilla-León, and Arabic and Riff Berber in Ceuta and Melilla. But again, all people in Spain are fully fluent in Spanish as either a first or second language.
