The Catalan people is an ethnic group formed by the people from or with origins in Catalonia who form a historic nationality chiefly located in northern Spain. The inhabitants of the adjacent portion of southern France (known in Catalonia proper as Catalunya Nord and in France as the Pays Catalan) are included in this definition. Also Catalan is sometimes used to define people from Catalan Countries which include other areas where the Catalan language is spoken.
