Regarding Catalan, besides being the dominant language in
Catalunya (Catalonia), it is also the official language of
the prinicipality of Andorra.  I recall driving through
Andorra during the winter and seeing street signs written
only in Catalan.  One read: Perill-Gel, meaning Danger-Ice!

Interestingly enough, there is an advertisement by Catalunya
in this week's Economist news magazine by the Catalan
development agency, timed to coincide with the olympics.  It
describes Catalunya repeatedly as a country.  It does also
make a brief mention once about Catalunya being a country
within Spain.
