Many Murcianos also speak English as Murcia is part of the European community and due to internet and the availability of American television by cable and iptv.Murcia. It is home to two private bilingual schools for children where English is spoken all day: Limonar(American english) and Kings College (British english). Plus there are 11 academias or centers for learning English. proficieny (British english exam) and Toefl (American english exam) are nowadays standard and sometimes required for employment in Murcia as measures of quality English. As well 2 public schools operate with english spoken classes where teachers speak only english when teaching subjects like history,g eography or science. Native ingles is the level aimed at in Murcia. - signed by anon IP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.148.97.68 (talk) 20:11, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The English is terrible in this wiki. I'd try to give it a pass but it's a lot. Many mistakes in spelling and meaning is lost. You may not know it but Wikipedia is factual not an advert. But it does however pop up first in google searches on murcia. Tourists are then reading about us here. The factual pages must be well written in English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.148.97.68 (talk) 21:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article refers to "the province of Albacete… which was historically connected to Murcia until 1833". I believe that is exactly backward, and that Albacete became part of the región histórica of Murcia in 1833 (1833 territorial division of Spain) and remained connected to Murcia until the Spanish transition to democracy and the formation of autonomous communities. - Jmabel | Talk 23:07, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Jmabel, that Murcia historically was larger than today, it was almost doublesize. You just have to look up any map previous to 1830, and you will see the historical region of Murcia (or kingdom of Murcia) was almost doublesize than current province of Murcia. It was around 1830, when today's provinces were created, that the kingdom of Murcia suffered some "cuttings" in its lands. I think Orihuela and Almansa are historically Murcians.--88.2.241.72 (talk) 14:02, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Valenciano isn´t an official language in Region of Murcia. I erase it. --84.121.83.165 (talk) 20:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article doesn't say Valencian is official, but "native", so I'll restore it. — Jɑuмe ^(dis-me) 14:18, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs references. It is an article of relative importance (being of a city ...). Still, thank you for working with wikipedia.--Apendata (talk) 16:37, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just got a big big boost after the elections...big news.. With citizens or ciudadanos in the government and their insistence on external quality control. until now all schools are bilingual in name only as most kids don't speak English unless they can afford expensive private academias de ingles. even teachers don't speak English. it has been the cart pulling the horse for years. political showmanship. with ciudadanos they want external exams in all subjects like maths english history ...they want all kids to pass pet b1 English low level to go from 6th grade age 12 to 7th grade age 13. after to pass b2 first certificate to go from 4 eso or 10th grade to high school final years...in math they also want an external control exam... so many schools inflate averages as the average is blindly accepted for university admission. this is big news in murcia, where all know that a bilingual school has been really just a name until now...with citizens maybe we will see real bilingual schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.32.240.56 (talk) 07:16, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
