- BCastellanoCastilian
- CAragonésAragonese
Show answer and explanation
✓ Castellano
Spanish is also called Castilian. Both names are valid and the Constitution uses "Castilian" for the official language of the State. It is called that because it was born in Castile, in the Middle Ages. Aragonese and Leonese are other Romance languages of the peninsula, little spoken today. In the exam they will use both forms, "Castilian" and "Spanish", with the same meaning.
