Language in Mallorca, SpainFor those of you who have been slogging away at Spanish classes in preparation
for a holiday in Mallorca (Majorca), there is good news and bad. Mallorca has two languages Spanish
and Mallorquìn (a Catalan dialect). The bad news is that most Mallorcans do speak
Mallorquìn amongst themselves and you will see signs, timetables and official
documents in Mallorquìn. This is why you come across both Puerto Pollensa
(Spanish) and Port de Pollença (Mallorquìn) and various other combinations
which are incorrect! The good news is that you will be understood and answered if you
speak Spanish (or Castellano as it is known). Language Books |
