Valencians (Valencian: valencians [valensiˈans]; Spanish: valencianos [balenˈθjanos]) 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".[2] The official languages of Valencia are Valencian and Spanish.[3]
The Valencian Community is politically divided in three provinces, from south to north: Alicante, Valencia and Castellón. Its capital is the city of Valencia.
