Expolangues is the World most important saloon about languages. Every year it receives a language as an honour guest. This year the language chosen is Catalan. This is the first time that a non-state language is the guest one. The small state of Andorra is the only one where Catalan is the first language. In the Spanish state it is partially official while in the French and Italian it is not.
Expolangues 2010 is held in Paris, as usual, from 3-6 February. Several actions will recognize the Catalan language as “the language of ten million European people”. The mission is lead by the Ramon Llull Institute. Ramon Llull was an important writer in the Middle Age from Mallorca. The Institute is formed by the autonomous government of Balearic islands, Catalonia, the general council from Northern Catalonia (Oriental Pyrinees), Andorra’s state, the Valencian cities net as well as the city of Alguer from Sardinia, Italian state.
The same institute has began a public campaign to promote the recognition of the language in France. It is composed by advertisements in the subway as well as television spots with the actor Sergi Lopez well known by the French public.
