Gibraltar population (live estimate)

Gibraltar has a multilingual environment shaped by its position at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and its status as a British Overseas Territory. English is the official language and is used in government, education, and formal settings. In everyday life, many residents speak a local mixed variety known as Llanito, which blends elements of English and Andalusian Spanish, with influences from Italian, Maltese, and other languages. Spanish is widely understood and used in commerce and cross-border interaction with Spain. Most Gibraltarians are functionally bilingual in English and Spanish.

Gibraltar has a small but dense population living on a narrow peninsula at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. The community includes descendants of long-established families with British, Spanish, Maltese, Genoese, and other Mediterranean roots, as well as more recent arrivals connected to the military, administration, and service sectors. Cross-border commuting with neighboring Spanish towns further shapes the sociolinguistic landscape, contributing to extensive daily bilingualism.

The cities shown here represent major urban centres with populations over 50,000, as defined by the UN Degree of Urbanisation (DEGURBA) methodology. Smaller towns and rural settlements are not included.
