Occitan and Catalan are two very closely related languages; so much so that early Romance-language scholars considered them to be one language, bundling them together under the single, rather inadequate name of Provençal.

Catalan is spoken by about 9.5 million people. It is the official language of Andorra and an official language, along with Spanish, in Catalonia (Catalunya), Valencia (Comunitat Valenciana) and the Balearic Islands (Illes Balears). It is also spoken in parts of Aragon and Murcia, Pyrénées-Orientales in southern France, and in the Sardinian city of Alghero (l'Alguer).

Occitan language is spoken mainly in southern France, and also in Monaco, in the Aran Valley (Val d'Aran) in northern Spain, and in the Occitan Valleys (Valadas Occitanas) in Italy. Estimates range from 100,000 to 800,000 total speakers . The majority of speakers are elderly and live in rural areas. There are six main varieties of Occitan: Provençal, Gascon, Languedocien, Limousin, Alpine and Auvergnat.
