Editing Autonomous communities of Spain (section)

== List of autonomous communities ==
The official names of the autonomous communities can be in Spanish only (which applies to the majority of them), in the co-official language in the community only (as in the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands), or in both Spanish and the co-official language (as in the Basque Country, Navarre and Galicia). Since 2006, [[Occitan language|Occitan]]—in its [[Aranese language|Aranese dialect]]—is also a co-official language in Catalonia, making it the only autonomous community whose name has three official variants (Spanish: ''Cataluña'', Catalan: ''Catalunya'', Occitan: ''Catalonha'').
