Spaniards form the largest ethnic group in Andorra, followed by Andorrans, Portuguese, and French.^[1]

The national language of the country is Catalan, a Romance language in the Western Romance group, spoken by over 9 million people in nearby regions of Spain and France. While Catalan is the only official language, Spanish is particularly widespread, and French and Portuguese are also commonly spoken due to immigration and geographic proximity. Most residents of Andorra are multilingual, typically speaking Catalan and their native language, as a significant portion of the population was born outside the country.^[1]

The vast majority of the population lives in the seven urbanized valleys that form Andorra's political districts, the seven parròquies (parishes):

• Andorra la Vella
• Canillo
• Encamp
• Escaldes-Engordany
• La Massana
• Ordino
• Sant Julià de Lòria
