Editing Province of Lleida (section)

== Language ==

The province of Lleida has a characteristic [[Catalan language|Catalan]] dialect popularly known as ''lleidatà'', with ''lo''/''los'' used as the masculine [[definite article]] instead of ''el''/''els'' as well as its pronunciation in a large number of words. One example of the pronunciation is the ''a'' at the end of the word that is pronounced like an ''e''. The local dialect, properly known as [[North-Western Catalan]], is part of the [[Western Catalan]] block, and as such, shares some features with [[Valencian language|Valencian]] (whose dialects are also part of that group).

Lleida is the only province in Catalonia to have a second native language: [[Occitan language|Occitan]], in the [[Aran Valley]].
