For those of you who don't speak Catalan, "sargantana" is a common little local lizard (Podarcis hispanicus, "Iberian wall lizard"). Of course the chip family (Lagarto) just means "lizard" in Castilian.

- iamsaitam 3y ago(bonus).. and lagarto is the same in Portuguese as well
- germandiago 3y agoWarning, offtopic but funny: FWIW "lagarta" in spanish slang is a girl with a lot of ambition looking from things from men taking advantage of them. Not a "worker" but a dangerous person. Lol

- znpy 3y agoI don't know, I'm not a lizard expert but that lizard looks the same as the ones I saw when I was a kid in the south of Italy. I guess if I ever start a chip fab there I'm gonna call my chip stranvicula or something like that.
- Anduia 3y agoThey are very similar. The Iberian ones are smaller, with broader heads, and are sometimes more colorful. I'm pretty sure that a Catalan would call the Italian ones 'sargantana'.

- cosmojg 3y agoFrom Wikipedia[1]: > Castilian (castellano), that is, Spanish, is the native language of the Castilians. Its origin is traditionally ascribed to an area south of the Cordillera Cantábrica, including the upper Ebro valley, in northern Spain, around the 8th and 9th centuries; however the first written standard was developed in the 13th century in the southern city of Toledo. It is descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, with Arabic influences, and perhaps Basque as well. During the Reconquista in the Middle Ages, it was brought to the south of Spain where it replaced the languages that were spoken in the former Moorish controlled zones, such as the local form of related Latin dialects now referred to as Mozarabic, and the Arabic that had been introduced by the Muslims. In this process Castilian absorbed many traits from these languages, some of which continue to be used today. Outside of Spain and a few Latin American countries, Castilian is now usually referred to as Spanish.

- Y_Y 3y agoFrom the page you linked: > Name of the language > In Spain and in some other parts of the Spanish-speaking world, Spanish is called not only español but also castellano (Castilian), the language from the Kingdom of Castile, contrasting it with other languages spoken in Spain such as Galician, Basque, Asturian, Catalan, Aragonese and Occitan. > The Spanish Constitution of 1978 uses the term castellano to define the official language of the whole of Spain, in contrast to las demás lenguas españolas (lit. "the other Spanish languages").
