El catalán proviene del latín hablado por los romanos, lo que lo convierte en una lengua románica como el castellano, francés e italiano. Es importante entender que no viene del latín culto (usado en iglesias y literatura), sino del latín vulgar o popular que usaba la gente común.
Varias lenguas dejaron su huella en el catalán a lo largo de la historia. Antes de los romanos, en la Península convivían lenguas como el sorotapte, celta, fenicio, griego e iberobasc. Entre los siglos V-VIII, las invasiones trajeron influencias árabes y germánicas.
Dato curioso: Durante los siglos XI-XII, el catalán recibió influencias del occitano y castellano, y más tarde del italiano, francés e incluso lenguas amerindias.
Las lenguas románicas se dividen en dos grupos principales: orientales (italiano y rumano) y occidentales .

Aunque el catalán ya se hablaba en el siglo VIII, los documentos oficiales seguían escribiéndose en latín. Durante el siglo IX empezaron a aparecer palabras y construcciones catalanas en testamentos y actas de venta.
El primer texto escrito en catalán es el Liber iudiciorum (mediados del siglo XII), una traducción de las leyes visigodas. Probablemente fue necesario traducirlo porque la gente ya no entendía el latín original.
Sin embargo, el primer texto originalmente escrito en catalán son las Homilies d'Organyà . Se trata de un fragmento de ocho hojas con sermones que comentan el evangelio y festividades dominicales.
¡Increíble pero cierto!: Recientemente se ha descubierto un texto catalán cien años más antiguo que las Homilies d'Organyà.

A partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIII, los textos jurídicos y comerciales en catalán se volvieron predominantes. Esto ocurrió porque el catalán era la lengua que realmente hablaba la gente y porque Catalunya estaba unificándose políticamente.
Los textos jurídicos más importantes incluyen los Usatges de Barcelona (considerados los fundamentos de la primera estructura democrática de Europa) y los Furs de València (1261), que organizaban jurídicamente el territorio recién conquistado.
En el ámbito comercial, las Ordenances dels corredors de Llotja (1271) demuestran que el catalán era la lengua habitual del comercio barcelonés. Regulaban los intercambios y transacciones comerciales de la época.
Dato importante: El monasterio de Ripoll, especialmente bajo el abad Oliba, fue el centro más importante de producción de libros historiográficos.

Durante los siglos XIII y XIV se escribieron cuatro grandes crónicas que narraban la historia de Catalunya como estado soberano. Estos libros de historia reciben el nombre de crónica porque recogen los hechos más importantes de un período determinado.
La Crònica de Jaume I o Llibre dels Feits (1274) se presenta de forma autobiográfica, con el rey hablando en primera persona y un estilo vivo y coloquial. La Crònica de Bernat Desclot (1288) destaca por su mérito literario y rigor documental.
La Crònica de Ramon Muntaner (1325) es la más extensa y narra aventuras militares, especialmente la expedición catalana a Oriente. El autor se dirige constantemente al lector con expresiones como "¿Qué os diré?".
Para recordar: La Crònica de Pere el Cerimoniós (1386) es más formal y menos entretenida, pareciéndose más a un diario que a una narración de aventuras.

El catalán experimentó diferentes etapas a lo largo de los siglos. Entre los siglos VIII-IX ya era una lengua diferente del latín, accediendo a la escritura en el siglo XII. Durante la Edad Media fue la lengua de una potencia mediterránea en constante expansión.
La Corona catalanoaragonesa exportó el catalán a Mallorca, València, Sardenya, Sicília, Nápoles y Grecia durante los siglos XIII, XIV y XV. Fue una época dorada de expansión territorial y cultural.
Durante los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII hubo cierta decadencia en la producción literaria culta, pero nunca se dejó de hablar. En el siglo XIX fue objeto de una renaixença patriótica y cultural.
Evolución moderna: Desde principios del siglo XX emprendió el camino de la normalización y normativización hasta llegar a la forma actual del catalán.
