Valencians (Valencian: valencians, Spanish: valencianos) are the native people of the Valencian Community, in eastern Spain. Since 2006, the Valencian people are officially recognised in the Valencian Statute of Autonomy as a nationality "within the unity of the Spanish nation". Valencians' native languages are Valencian, a variety of Western Catalan, in about two-thirds of the territory, and Spanish in the rest; both languages are official.
The Valencian Community is politically divided in three provinces, from south to north: Alacant, Valencia and Castelló. Its capital is the city of Valencia.
