Andorra, a small landlocked country nestled between Spain and France, has Catalan as its sole official language. Catalan, a Romance language, is spoken by the majority of the population and used in government, media, and education. Due to its location and diverse population, other languages, such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese, are widely spoken and understood. In recent years, English has gained popularity as a foreign language, particularly in the tourism and business sectors. Religion:
Andorra's religious landscape is predominantly Roman Catholic, with approximately 90% of the population adhering to this faith. The strong Catholic presence is deeply rooted in the country's history, and the Bishop of Urgell, a Spanish diocese, serves as one of Andorra's two co-princes, highlighting the influence of the Church on the nation's political structure. Religious practices and traditions continue to shape Andorran culture, with various Catholic holidays and festivals celebrated throughout the year. The remaining 10% of the population practices other Christian denominations, non-Christian religions, or identifies as non-religious. Ethnic Groups:
