    ALBURES
    Albures are a distinctive form of punning which originated in the speech of the (male) lower-classes of Mexico City, but are now in much wider use. They are used in rapid-fire repartee, chiefly of a sexual nature, which can be stretched into extensive exchanges as each participant tries to top the last speaker's remark. They typically involve use of numerous synonyms for the sexual organs, and one frequent theme of albures is the attempt to insinuate that one's adversary is the passive partner in a homosexual act. Many of the puns have passed into everyday speech, and can cause unintended hilarity. For example, the apparently innocent word “setecientas” (seven hundred) can be understood to mean “you sit on it”. Non-native speakers, no matter how fluent their Spanish, are unlikely to make much sense of an exchange of albures, let alone be able to participate. Indeed, they can be largely incomprehensible even to many Mexicans.

    CATALÁN Catalan is a romance language whose earliest literature dates back to the 12th century. In the Middle Ages Catalan military expansion spread the use of the language beyond modern Catalonia, but following the unification of Castile and Aragon the language lost ground to Castilian. During the Franco régime the use of Catalan and other minority national languages was prohibited in the media and in public institutions. This, together with the influx of Castilian-speaking immigrants, posed a threat to the survival of the language. Since 1979, when Catalonia's autonomous government, the Generalitat, was re-established and Catalan gained lengua cooficial status, the language has returned to public life in Catalonia and is flourishing. Indeed, many Catalan authors publish first in Catalan and only later in Castilian. Outside Catalonia, Catalan is also spoken by large numbers of people in the Balearic Islands and Andorra. Valenciano, a language spoken in the Valencia region, is closely related.

    The language of Catalonia. Like Castilian, Catalan is a Romance language. Variants of it include mallorquín (↑ Mallorca a1) of the Balearic Islands and valenciano (↑ valenciano a1) spoken in the autonomous region of Valencia.
    Banned under Franco, Catalan has enjoyed a revival since Spain's return to democracy and now has around 11 million speakers. It is the medium of instruction in schools and universities and its use is widespread in business, the arts, and the media. Many books are published in Catalan. See also lenguas cooficiales (↑ lengua a1).

    CATALÁN
    Catalan is one of several official languages in Spain other than Castilian Spanish. Like Spanish (“castellano”) and Galician (“gallego”), it developed from late Latin. It is spoken in Catalonia in northeastern Spain, and closely related languages are also spoken in the Balearic Islands (“mallorquín”) and the Valencian region (“valenciano”). Catalonia's economic development in the latter part of the 19th century encouraged a renaissance in the use of the language as a literary medium. During Franco's dictatorship (1939-75), Catalan was effectively banned for official purposes, but it continued to be used in everyday life as well as in literature. Since the return of democracy, Catalonia's regional government has promoted Catalan as the official language for use in education.
