===''Castellers'' and parts of a castell===
* '''''cap de colla''''' ''("team leader")'': The head of each team, who decides which ''castells'' the team is ready to attempt and directs the construction of the ''castells'' from the ground. The ''cap de colla'' is always accompanied by a number of assistants and advisers.
* '''''cap de pinya''''' ("base leader") one of the team leaders's assistants, who takes particular responsibility for the allocation of places in the pinya, ensuring even force is applied to the base of the castell. The cap de pinya will direct members of the pinya to different positions, depending on the size of the castell.
* '''''tronc''''' ("trunk"): The vertical part of the castell. 
* '''''baix''''' ("base"): the casteller standing on the ground at the bottom of one of the columns of castellers making up the ''tronc'', and supporting the ''segon'' on his or her shoulders. Short, stocky, and strong. 
* '''''segon''''' ("second"): One of the castellers standing on the shoulders of the ''baixos'', making up the second storey of the ''tronc''. Likewise, the subsequent storeys of the trunk are called '''''terços''''', '''''quarts''''', '''''quints''''', '''''sisens''''', and '''''setens''''' ("thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, sevenths"). As the ''pom de dalt'' makes up the top three storeys of the castell and there has never yet been a castell taller than ten storeys, there have never been any ''vuitens'' ("eighths").
* '''''agulla''''' ("needle," not to be confused with the ''agulla'' mentioned above): A casteller who stands in front of and facing a ''baix'', holding the lower legs of the ''segon'' and relaying information and instructions to the members of the ''pinya''. 
* '''''contrafort''''' ("buttress"): stands behind the ''baix'' and holds embraces him/her for support. 
* '''''crossa''''' ("crutch"): fills in the space between ''baixos'' and supports their arms on his/her shoulders. Generally short and slender. 
* '''''mans''''' ("hands"): stands behind the ''contrafort'' and supports the buttocks of the ''segon''.
* '''''vent''''' ("wind"): stands between and just outside two ''baixos'' and supports the legs of the ''segons'' standing on both. 
* '''''lateral''''': stands to one side of a ''baix'' and supports one leg of the ''segon'' from the side.
* '''''cordó''''' ("cordon"): Each concentric layer of the '''''pinya'''''. The ones in direct contact with the ''tronc'' are the ''primer cordó'', those behind them are the ''segon cordó'', and so forth. Members of the outer ''cordons'' are designated by the person they are positioned behind and the number of their ''cordó''. For example, the person behind the ''primeres mans'' is the ''segones mans''; behind that person is the ''terceres mans'', and so forth. 
* '''''tap''''' ("stopper"): inserted into the ''pinya'' to fill a gap and make the ''pinya'' more solid. 
* '''''pom de dalt''''' ''("top group")'': The top three levels of the ''castell'': ''dosos'', ''aixecador'', and ''enxaneta''.
* '''''canalla''''' ("children"): Those who make up the top levels of the ''castell''. They are usually children but can also be women. 
* '''''dosos''''' ''("the twos")'': A level consisting of two people, supporting and locked together by the ''aixecador'' and surmounted by the ''enxaneta''. These ''castellers'' are generally children.
* '''''aixecador''''' ''("riser")'' or '''''acotxador''''' ("croucher"): The person who squats with one foot on each of the ''dosos'', locking them together and so providing a stable platform for the ''enxaneta'', who stands astride the ''aixecador''. Almost always a child.
* '''''enxaneta''''' ''("rider")'' : The topmost ''casteller'', a child. When the ''enxaneta'' raises his or her hand in a four-finger gesture called the ''aleta'', this indicates that the construction of the castell is complete.
