I explained myself poorly, English is not my first language. Andalusian is a set of dialects were Basque, Catalan and Galician are languages. Having said that, Catalan and Basque have been used as a political tool for decades, much less the

No, officially in Spain the language is Castilian. However, according to the RAE, it’s also called Spanish. Indeed the RAE recommends the use of “español” (Spanish) [1]. [1] https://www.rae.es/dpd/espa%C3%B1ol

Note the right for self-determination was defined as such for the colonies. Catalonia has never been a colony. Now, try to secede from the USA and see what happens. Almost all countries have in their Constitutions provisions against secessi

No, I never said that Catalan is a dialect, it is indeed a language. But Catalan nationalists are even trying to remove all Spanish from the education [1][2] even by disobeying court sentences. If you compare the situation between Catalan a

That’s nonsense in Italy and Germany there are other languages/dialects too and nobody changes the name to the main common language. The case of English is different as the language was mainly used una part of the country, while Spanis

Andalusian tongues have different words and different tenses. However, these are dialects because they have not been politicized like Catalan or Basque (less the Galician). In the case of Galician, one of the first to write in the Galician

Well, one of my work buddies was Basque (sadly he passed away) and spoke about “vascos” all the time. He could speak Basque perfectly (even to the point of recognizing the different dialects) and he was from a small town, were Euskera es mo

Catalonia hasn’t been trying to separate from Spain. Some Catalans have been trying to separate from Spain. In the las regional elections party with the most votes was a non-independence party: Ciutadans.
