La Franja is the area of Catalan-speaking territories of Aragon bordering Catalonia, in Spain. It literally means the strip and can also more properly be called Franja d'Aragó , Franja de Ponent or Franja Oriental d'Aragó in Catalan . La Franja is usually considered to be comprised by a part of the municipalities of the following Aragonese administrative comarcas: la Ribagorza/Ribagorça, La Litera/La Llitera, Bajo Cinca/Baix Cinca, Bajo Aragón-Caspe/Baix Aragó-Casp, Bajo Aragón/Baix Aragó and Matarraña/Matarranya. La Franja has been part of Aragon since the kingdom of Aragon until today, never in its history has it been part of Catalonia although a big part of its population since Middle Ages have communicated in Catalan language. This territory is a part of the so-called Catalan Countries. The thin strip of land is very diverse geographically, ranging from valleys in the Pyrenees to the flat lands by the Ebro; all are included under this umbrella term. La Franja does not have any official political recognition within Aragon, nor is it a separate historical entity in and of itself; the territories only have in common being administratively and historically Aragonese and linguistically Catalan. The term is mostly used in neighbouring Catalonia, especially by Catalan nationalists, though it has lately become common in Aragon too. In Aragonese politics there is an anti-Catalan trend that seeks to diminish the Catalan identity of La Franja, thus the Aragonese parliament has passed laws that will make no mention of the word Catalan in connection with Aragon.
