Spanish in danger in Spain!

In the US, we are currently debating whether or not to make English the official language. It is, of course, the uncontested unofficial language, but there is always ongoing debate regarding how much resources are put into accomodating people who speak other languages, most notably Spanish.

I recently posted about an African country, Ghana, and their discussion of 'national languages.' I have just found out about an interesting debate going on in Spain.

There is no question that Spanish is the official language of Spain. Or is there? Spain has some other native languages (such as Catalan and Basque) that have significant regional influence and some official status. To the credit of the powers that be, efforts have been made in recent decades to ensure that these languages do not become threatened by an overpowering national language (Spanish). They don't want to see these languages in the same situation as Occitan and Breton in France, or Cornish in Britain.

But there is actually some concern that Spanish itself is in danger! In Spain! Sound a little
