| − | The Committee of Experts is aware of the on-going discussion concerning the naming of Catalan and Valencian. In Valencia the language is called Valencian and in Catalonia it is called Catalan. However the Valencian Academy of Language states that '''this is the same language''' from a philological point of view, as it is the language spoken in the Autonomous Communities of Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and in Andorra (Decree 2/2005 of 29 March issued by the President of the Valencian Academy of Language on the Resolution concerning principles and criteria for protecting the name and identity of Valencian).
