Catalan People
The Catalans are an ethnic group; the people from, or with origins in, Catalonia who form a historical nationality chiefly located in the northern Spanish state. The inhabitants of the adjacent portion of southern France (known in Catalonia proper as Catalunya Nord, and in France as the Pays Catalan) are included in this definition. Also, Catalan is sometimes used to define people from Catalan Countries, which include other areas where the Catalan language is spoken.
