In the Fifteenth century its King Ferdinand married Isabel of Castile and formed the Kingdom of Spain. Although it used to have its own lenguage, Aragonese, and laws, over the centuries most of them were lost and it became more like Castile. Nowadays, Aragon, despite its large size, has a population of only 1 million, making it largely uninhabited, with a capital, Zaragoza, that holds over half the population. TalkSpanish is spoken in Aragon by the whole population. Aragonese (Aragonese or Castilian: aragonés, also known as fabla), is spoken in the north, but is not recognized as an official language.
