Antoni Tortajada tells us several daily stories that allow us to see what has happened to the language of this country in the last three hundred years. The question is: how come we still speak Catalan three hundred years later? After 1714, the new Spanish administration launched a project to unify the whole territory with a single language, Spanish. But in Catalonia at that time, practically only Catalan was spoken. In 1786, Judge Francisco de Zamora toured all of Catalonia on a commission from King Charles III: to find out whether the measures that had been dictated to achieve that goal had taken effect or not.
