@marcelramalho

It's catalan (Catalunya).

@1967born But isn't Catalan Spanish? I don't want to offend nobody, I really don't know :) is it a big difference between these 2 languages ?

[1967born]

@KhanTheMighty91 Catalan is quite different from Spanish. Just to say, it is more similar to old Italian and French than to actual Spanish. I think it is a dialect, restricted to a very particular region of Spain.

Poesia de Miquel Martin í Pol Todo en el amor se llena de sentido La fuerza renovada de este corazón tan maleado por la vida, ¿de dónde sale si no su inmenso caudal de amor? Es, entonces, sólo por el amor, que nos crecen rosas en los dedos y sentimos que se nos revelan los misterios; y en el amor todo es justo y necesario. Cree en el cuerpo, por tanto, y en el intento de perdurar, y hacer que todo perdure dignificándolo siempre con amorosa solicitud: así darás vida.

Anyway, I've never been educated to Catalan in any way throughout my life and I've practically never been in contact with it until very recently.

However, as I've been reading medieval Occitan and modern Provencal (speaking it a bit aswell) for a few years, I can read Catalan and understand it almost without effort (as a point of comparison, I had been learning Castillan for four years and I still struggle with it).

It doesn't feel like a different language to me.

[Hamsterzilla1349]

Catalan is mainly considered a language by itself because of the gigantic political pressure put on it (as most languages in their individualization phase). But it can decently be considered as a main variant inside a general Catalan-Occitan (the latest term being very recent actually, "Occitan" doesn't mean much for me) language. That would make the classification of Gascon easier aswell.

@KhanTheMighty91 Catalan language it's not a dialect.It's a language of more than 10 centuries. And it's restricted to the actual Catalunya(Katalonia), and Barcelona is the maine city(we're not a region, we're a nation). Catalunya lost de freedom in 1714, loosing a war of 12 years, and ending with the Treaty of Rastatt. The majority of Catalans do not feel Spanish and some day not far we hope hope to regain our freedom.

Muy hermoso. Soy nacido y criadoe n el Nuevo Mundo, como lo llamó Américo Vespucio. Que vivan la lengua catalana y la castellana. Soy descendiente de todo lo que es la peninsula ibérica; Catalanes, asturianos, gallegos, castellanos, etc. y por tanto de todo que de esa parte del mundo me llaga, lo celebro y me enorgullece.

The old language of Eastern Spain/Southern France is Occità, Langue D'Oc. Catalonia was chartered as a shire of Aragon in 1248, Modern Catalan is the Barcelona romantic dialect. The tongues of Valencia, Rousillon, Balearics, Languedoc, and Aragon were either Occità or so similar as to need no translation. They were spoken in ROman and Byzantine times and share quite similar grammars. HOWEVER, parallel the evolutions of Latin, intermixed with Celtic, Phoenician and Arabic phonems.

@robertgimenez Catalan is the language of this song, but you're wrong in your assertion because Catalunya nowadays is part of Spain and they also speak Spanish.
