Abstract

One of the most interesting thinks about the Spanish Culture is the Culture of Region. There are not a few of the regions of Spain that have also a particular language. Three of these Regions, Cataluña, Galicia and The Basque County have their own regional language: the Catalan Language, the Galician Language and the Basque Language. Does this language influence the culture of the region? Or these regions have a regional language because of their position near to the border?
