La Franja (Catalan pronunciation: [lə ˈfɾaɲʒə], Western Catalan: [la ˈfɾaɲdʒa], locally: [la ˈfɾaɲtʃa]; "The Strip") is the area of Catalan-speaking territories of Aragon bordering Catalonia, in Spain. It literally means "the strip" and can also more properly be called Franja d'Aragó (Aragonese Strip), Franja de Ponent (Western Strip) or Franja Oriental d'Aragó (Eastern Strip of Aragon) in Catalan (in Aragonese:Francha Oriental d'Aragón, "Eastern Strip of Aragon"; or simply Francha de Lebán/Levant, "Eastern Strip", or Francha d'Aragón, "Aragonese Strip"; in Spanish:Franja de Aragón, "Aragonese Strip").
