catalan, galician and basque courses
Spain is a multilingual country where, alongside Castilian (Spanish), other languages such as Catalan, Basque, and Galician are also spoken. The Instituto Cervantes considers this linguistic diversity to be one of Spain's greatest cultural assets and therefore promotes the study and dissemination of these languages by offering courses based on demand.
About our courses
Currently, Instituto Cervantes Kuala Lumpur does not offer regular courses in Spain's co-official languages due to the lack of demand in Malaysia. However, if you are interested in learning any of these languages, please feel free to contact us to enquire about the availability of our teachers.
Catalan is a Romance language spoken by nearly 10 million people and understood by many more. It is an official language in Catalonia, the Valencian Community (where it is known as Valencian), and the Balearic Islands, and is also spoken in other parts of Spain, Andorra, France, and Italy. With a literary tradition dating back to the Middle Ages and a vibrant contemporary cultural scene, Catalan is one of Europe's most dynamic languages.
Galician is a Romance language spoken by approximately 2.4 million people, mainly in Galicia, where it is an official language alongside Spanish. Closely related to Portuguese, its literary tradition also dates back to the Middle Ages, when it began to evolve separately from Latin. Galician has played a fundamental role in the cultural history of the Iberian Peninsula and remains a living and dynamic language today, used in education, the media, and everyday life throughout Galicia.
Basque, or Euskera, is one of the most unique languages in Europe. It is spoken mainly in the Basque Country, as well as in parts of Navarre and southwestern France, with around 750,000 native speakers and more than one million people possessing some knowledge of the language. It is particularly remarkable because it is not related to any other known language, making it a fascinating subject of study for linguists and researchers. With a long history and a vibrant presence in contemporary cultural life, Basque is a valuable reflection of the linguistic and cultural diversity of both Spain and Europe.
