Politically speaking how does Spain function as a country when so much of its population speaks entirely different languages?
Compare to Canada and Quebec, they are constantly at each other. So how does Spain manage to avoid this and function as a cohesive unit?
This is astounding.

>what is eta? [Hint: Basque terror organisation]
>what's the number one topic in Catalonia? [hint: separatist movement]
The police stopped a referendum on independence a couple years ago, jailed leading separatists, one of them is still in exile somewhere.
That's one side, but the other is a lot of autonomy. The catalonians have their own police, I think the basques have their own healthcare system etc. You either beat them up or give them enough slack to not start a civil war.
You should look at Switzerland, that's much more interesting than a powerful center and some regions with speech defects.
>so much of its population speaks entirely different languages?
The only entirely different language there is basque. Galician and Catalan might be closer to Spanish than ebonics is to standard american dialect lmao. Also 'Astur-leonese' and 'occitan' don't even exist
Basque is the only truly different language, all latin languages like arpitan, occitan, catalian, parisian, picardian, venetian, lombardian, castillian, sardinian etc. are differentiated primarily by minor pronunciation differences and preference for tacos, spaghetti or rotten cheese.
>How does Spain function as a country
Thats the fin part, It dosent
In spanish education castellano and (insert local language here) is taught in schools so even if you are from madrid you will be able to talk with somebody from cataluña. But most of the times you will have trouble speaking in the most rural zones, where grannies mostly speak their local language and will respond you in their local language but they still understand castellano. Other than that, everybody knows and speaks castellano, other languages are more like cultural languages, not really useful but cool to know they are there.

Fun*
So you're saying people don't actually speak Catalan? They just know it, but don't use it?
Catalan is the most used out of all three, but it's completely unnecessary unless you live in a very rural area or an extremely politicized circle. Galician isnt so widely used and the linguistic conflict in that region is more of a class issue than an identity issue, with Galician speakers seen as poors or hicks. Nobody really uses basque unless they're an insane antifa
ehhh it mostly depends, most young people do not speak it as much as boomers and old people although they are fluent in their local languages, it's just a niche language that if wish to use it you do. But if you only know catalan, you are fucked outside your comunidad, you won't be able to comunicate and worse, you won't be able to read any official documentation.
>???
Sounds like these Catalonians are 3rd class citizens.
asur leonese is the most based one
youtube.com
better than any south american country that's for sure
more astur-leonese

Not for long Manolo, thanks to Senegal
Because everybody knows spanish, it might be difficult to understand for an american but people can speak more than 1 language natively.
Also Im not really sure if aragonese or asturleonese are spoken at all.
Basañado
thanks to the judeomasons of the EU aka USA-Israel you mean
Reminds me of this Quebecois song
only pueblofags and jubilados use those languages, and even then they mix it with spanish often
yes
everyone in catalonia speaks spanish, or 99% at least
not everyone speaks catalan (most do however or understand it)
a lot of catalan speakers don't even use it, in fact, more people in catalonia have spanish as their mother tongue than catalonian
the only thing they ask you to know catalonian for are some jobs and mostly public sector/administration jobs
in school both languages are taught
practically everyone in spain speaks spanish, and bilinguism is present to different degrees in the map posted in the OP
also these two are correct
