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.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“... the next war will be a war in which people not armies will suffer, and our boasted, hard-earned civilization will do us no good. Cannot the women rise to this great opportunity and work now, and not have the double horror, if another war comes, of losing their loved ones, and knowing that they lifted no finger when they might have worked hard?”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
