The Balearic Islands are one of the autonomous regions of modern Spain,
where both Catalan and Spanish are considered o‰cial languages and are
widely spoken among the population. Historically, the main language of
the region has been Catalan, brought to the islands during the Spanish Reconquest
from the thirteenth century onwards. The presence of Spanish was
noted much later, as a slow language substitution process starting in the sixteenth
century took place. This article analyzes the functional distribution
of both languages today, as well as consequences of secular language contact
and some attitudinal aspects of Balearic social bilingualism. [-]
