Valencians (Valencian: valencians) are the native people of the Valencian Community, in eastern Spain. Legally, Valencians are the inhabitants of the community.[2] Since 2006, the Valencian people are officially recognised in the Valencian Statute of Autonomy as a nationality "within the unity of the Spanish nation".[3] The official languages of Valencia are Valencian and Spanish.[4]
The Valencian Community is politically divided in three provinces, from south to north: Alicante, Valencia and Castellon. Its capital is the city of Valencia.
