Gascon (English: /ˈɡæskən/; Gascon: [ɡasˈku(ŋ)], French: [ɡaskɔ̃]) is the common Romance language used mostly in the region of Gascony, France. It is often considered a variety of Occitan, however, some authors consider it a different language.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Gascon is mostly spoken in Gascony and Béarn (Béarnese dialect) in southwestern France (in parts of the following French departments (or areas): Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées, Landes, Gers, Gironde, Lot-et-Garonne, Haute-Garonne, and Ariège) and in the Val d'Aran of Catalonia.

Aranese is a southern Gascon language spoken in Catalonia alongside Catalan and Spanish. Most people in the region speak all three languages. Spanish and Catalan tend to be different from the dialects of Gascon spoken in France. Most people who study the science of language now consider Aranese a different dialect of Occitan and Gascon. Since the 2006 adoption of the new statute of Catalonia, Aranese is now an official language along with Catalan and Spanish languages in all of Catalonia (before, this status was valid for the Aran Valley only).
