Talk:Castile-Leon

Castile-Leon the largest sub-national political division in Europe? Surely there are larger ones in Russia?
I am surprised that no one noticed that the table showing the autnomous communities is entering the table of Castile-Leon, pretty much destroying it. Since the first table doesn't have much connection to the topic, I have proceeded to remove it. Portcult 18:45, 23 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Move article
Unless there is tradition in english for calling this region Castile-Leon, the article should be named Castile and Leon resembling the original Spanish official name. 80.58.9.237 22:29, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I've always heard it as Castile-Leon. - Montréalais 08:16, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Almost all the incoming links are to Castile-Leon, and only a handful to Castile and Leon, which seems to suggest the hyphenated form is common enough in the English language. On the other hand, a Google search is inconclusive. I think some more examples of English usage would be useful. sjorford →•← 17:35, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Official languages
"Astur-leonés, Castiella y Llión, and in Galician language Castela e León" -- Do these languages have official standing in the autonomous community? If not, we could go on for some time listing the name in all languages spoken by a sizeable minority in the autonomous community. - Montréalais 08:16, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)
About Treviño
In Treviño, on Burgos province, Basque language is not spoken anyplace.
Capital
An anonymous party wrote that Castile-Leon has no official capital. Is this true? Explanation please? - Montréalais
It´s absolutely false, the official capital of Castile and Leon, since the creation of this autonomous community is Valladolid. I´ve not heard anything about another capital.
Llión en Llionés
I think the issue of displaying the alternate names of Castiella-Llión is in order, such is the leonese name of their own country whether or not has "official" recognition. Entries for spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla has it, in both arabic and berber, "unoffical" languages but widely spoken. I think is encyclopedic refers to a local language name and is insulting and discriminative not to.
