The 17 names as Spain's statistics office writes them: Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Relación de comunidades y ciudades autónomas con sus códigos, https://www.ine.es/daco/daco42/codmun/cod_ccaa.htm (Andalucía; Aragón; Asturias, Principado de; Balears, Illes; Canarias; Cantabria; Castilla y León; Castilla - La Mancha; Cataluña; Comunitat Valenciana; Extremadura; Galicia; Madrid, Comunidad de; Murcia, Región de; Navarra, Comunidad Foral de; País Vasco; Rioja, La; then the two cities, Ceuta and Melilla). The Spanish, Catalan and Basque forms side by side (Catalunya and Cataluña, Illes Balears and Islas Baleares, Comunidad Valenciana and Comunitat Valenciana, Navarra and Nafarroa): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:ES. How each name stands in a Spanish sentence, with an article or without, and its other names (El País Vasco o Euskadi; Las Islas Baleares, en catalán y oficialmente Illes Balears; La Comunidad Valenciana, oficialmente en valenciano Comunitat Valenciana; Navarra, denominada oficialmente Comunidad Foral de Navarra; El Principado de Asturias; La Comunidad de Madrid; La Región de Murcia; La Rioja, with a capital L inside a sentence): the opening lines of each community's article in the Spanish Wikipedia, https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/ followed by Andalucía, Aragón, Asturias, Islas_Baleares, País_Vasco, Canarias, Cantabria, Castilla_y_León, Castilla-La_Mancha, Cataluña, Comunidad_de_Madrid, Extremadura, Galicia, La_Rioja_(España), Navarra, Región_de_Murcia and Comunidad_Valenciana.

SpanishDict notes that País Vasco must be preceded by the definite article (https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/Pa%C3%ADs%20Vasco). País, a masculine noun; comunidad, región and isla, feminine nouns; comunidad autónoma, feminine, autonomous community: both dictionaries.

Blank map of Spain: autonomous communities in Spanish, on paper

Print blank, under More options, numbers each community and adds 17 lines for the Spanish names; the labeled copy is the key. Ceuta and Melilla, the two autonomous cities, are drawn and not asked. Some borders on this map are disputed. Disputed areas are shown but not asked.

  • Five of these names take an article: el País Vasco, la Comunidad de Madrid, la Comunidad Valenciana, la Región de Murcia and las Islas Baleares.
  • WordReference marks Aragón and el País Vasco as masculine and names such as Galicia, Cataluña and Andalucía as feminine: Aragón es bonito, Galicia es bonita.
  • La Rioja keeps its capital L inside a sentence, vivo en La Rioja, because the article is part of the name.
