Linguists coined Balearic (Catalan: balear IPA: [bəɫəˈa]) as a collective name for the group of Catalan variants that people speak in the Balearic Islands. Those who speak it refer to their variant by the name local to their individual island: mallorquí (Majorcan) eivissenc (Ibizan) and menorquí (Minorcan).At the last census 746792 people in the Balearic Islands claimed to be able to speak Catalan though some of these people may be speakers of mainland variants.
