The population of the new kingdom was by far mostly Muslim, so the crown started a campaign of repopulation of the lands with Christians, as usual in the <i><a href="/wiki/Reconquista" title="Reconquista">Reconquista</a></i>. The new Christian arrivals came from <a href="/wiki/Catalonia" title="Catalonia">Catalonia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Aragon" title="Aragon">Aragon</a>. Aragonese presence was most dominant in the interior parts of the kingdom (as can be assumed by geographical factors); those Aragonese from the eastern comarcas of Aragon (Matarranya, Casp, Baix Cinca, Llitera and Ribargorça) would have brought with them Catalan language varieties, whereas the rest of Aragonese settlers would've brought eastern Spanish and Aragonese varieties which would mix into Churro Spanish, which in much of the interior is the traditional language, as Valencian is in the coast, where most of the new inhabitants had <a href="/wiki/Catalan_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Catalan people">Catalan</a> or, less usual, <a href="/wiki/Occitania" title="Occitania">Occitan</a> origins. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Vega_Baja_del_Segura" title="Vega Baja del Segura">Vega Baja del Segura</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vinalop%C3%B3" title="Vinalopó">Vinalopó</a> <i>comarcas</i>/<i>comarques</i> were lands disputed between the crowns of Castile and Aragon since the <i>Reconquista</i>, this being because they were conquered by Aragon but reserved for Castile under a treaty, hence they were repopulated by people from both crowns at different times, and the Alt Vinalopó (<a href="/wiki/Villena" title="Villena">Villena</a> influence area) was actually part of Murcia (<a href="/wiki/Province_of_Albacete" title="Province of Albacete">Albacete province</a>) until the nineteenth century. Following the Black Death and later the Expulsion of the Moriscos, the then Valencian-speaking Bajo Segura (to which <a href="/wiki/Orihuela" title="Orihuela">Orihuela</a> and <a href="/wiki/Torrevieja" title="Torrevieja">Torrevieja</a> belong) is said to have been resettled mostly by people from Murcia, eventually defining the language border there (see <a href="/wiki/Murcian_Spanish" title="Murcian Spanish">Panocho dialect</a>). The Requena comarca was, like the Alto Vinalopó, part of Castile (<a href="/wiki/Province_of_Cuenca" title="Province of Cuenca">Cuenca province</a>) until the mid-nineteenth century (1851). </p><p>Muslim presence in the Kingdom of Valencia was very high, making one third of the entire population at the time of the expulsion (the highest proportion in all of Spain). The coexistence between the <a href="/wiki/Christians" title="Christians">Christian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Muslim" class="mw-redirect" title="Muslim">Muslim</a> was mostly good, despite some chapters of religious intolerance like the massive <a href="/wiki/Baptism" title="Baptism">Baptism</a> of Muslims during the first <a href="/wiki/Revolt_of_the_Brotherhoods" title="Revolt of the Brotherhoods">Revolt of the Brotherhoods</a>; however, Valencian Muslims never ceased to speak <a href="/wiki/Andalusi_Arabic" title="Andalusi Arabic">Arabic</a>.

Spanish (or Castilian) is the official language of Spain, while Valencian, that is, the varieties of <a href="/wiki/Catalan_language" title="Catalan language">Catalan</a> spoken in the Community, is the language considered by the Statute of Autonomy as <i>llengua pròpia</i> ("native language"). Valencian is traditionally spoken in the densely populated coastal areas rather than inland, where many places have Spanish as their traditional language, also those areas incorporated into the provinces of Alicante and Valencia at their creation in 1833 and which did not form part of the historical Kingdom of Valencia. Consequently, the 1984 Law on the "Use and Education of Valencian" defines certain municipalities as "predominantly Spanish-speaking", and allows them some few optional exceptions as to official use of Valencian, even though the right to use and to receive education in Valencian is guaranteed by the Statute of Autonomy (Art. 6.2) anywhere in Valencia. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
