Aragian

Aragian is a term used to describe the people, culture, and language of the historical region of Aragon, located in northeastern Spain. The Aragonians are part of the broader Iberian Peninsula population, sharing many cultural and linguistic traits with their neighbors, such as the Catalans and the Castilians. The Aragonians speak Aragonese, a Romance language that is closely related to Catalan and Occitan. The language has been influenced by the region's history of interaction with other cultures, including the Moors and the Franks.

The Aragonians have a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Paleolithic era. The region was later inhabited by various indigenous tribes before becoming part of the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, Aragon was a separate kingdom, ruled by the House of Jiménez. The kingdom expanded significantly under the rule of Peter the Great, who united Aragon with the Crown of Castile in 1162, forming the Crown of Aragon.

The Aragonians have contributed to various fields, including art, literature, and science. Notable figures include the poet Juan de Mena and the astronomer Pedro de Luna. The region is also known for its unique architecture, with many buildings showcasing the influence of different cultures that have inhabited the area over time.

Today, the Aragonians live in the autonomous community of Aragon, which is part of the larger Spanish state. The community is known for its diverse landscapes, including mountains, rivers, and deserts. The Aragonians continue to celebrate their unique cultural heritage, with events such as the Festival of San Fermín and the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, which is located in the neighboring region of Navarre.
