It is the first language of six and a half million people in north-eastern Spain and of the peoples of Andorra, French Catalonia, the Balearic Islands. and a small region of Sardinia. Dr. Wheeler describes Barcelona pronunciation and the major varieties of western Catalonia, Valencia, and Majorca, and considers social and stylistic variation."--Jacket.
