Andalusian People
The Andalusians (Spanish: andaluces) are the people of the southern region in Spain approximated by what is now called Andalusia. They are generally not considered an ethnically distinct people, though Andalusian Spanish is a distinct dialect, as recognized by the Spanish Language Academy and is the root of Latin-American Spanish. The Andalusians have a rich culture which includes the Semana Santa (see Holy Week in Spain), the Carnival of Cadiz and the famous flamenco style of music and dance. Andalusia's own statute of autonomy identifies the region as an "historic nationality" and grants it a high level of devolved political power.
