If you can call us Spanish I think you will have no problem with us calling you Scotsman or Welshman.

Well, I did live in Wales, but the difference is that I have a British passport and nationality, as you (presumably) have a Spanish passport and nationality.
 
I think Tailless meant Catalan. That's what I thought he wrote anyway!
 
GRRRR :mad:
Now YOU SCREWED IT! CASTILIAN IS NOT IN ANY WAY REMOTELY SIMILAR TO CATALAN!!! [pissed]
 
In English, to a quick look, their respective words are reasonably similar.

In geography, they're both Spanish. :)
 
Castalan sounds cooler though.

You seem to think that Spanish may be used the same way as you people in the UK use the term British. It doesn't. Spanish is not a geographically neutral term and even a unionist such as eduhum admits it.

Look, it's a tiger taking a crap.

Castilian - of Castile, the "central" region that forms part of the Kingdom of Spain
Spanish - of Spain, the Kingdom of Spain, or part of the Spanish nation-state

Just because some people like to Spanish to mean Castilian doesn't mean they're right, especially when you considered the shared experiences of different peoples - Castilians, Catalans, Basques, Andalusians, Galicians, etc - united in a single nation-state - Spain - over the last five centuries.

"British" is not a neutral term either.
 
Moar maps less talk about termonology

I approve this message.
 
@taillesskangaru and Winner: A unionist such as eduhum and me are telling you that Castilian and Spanish are the same thing but whatever.
 
If Catalonia is such a big deal, why isn't it a sovereign state, independent from Spain?

Catalan is just a dialect of Castilian anyways, so why are you so angry?

If you were Basque, it would be understandable why you'd want independence, but if you're from Catalonia you have no reasons, just stop being so anti-system only because it's hip.

Is this a joke or a trolling?
Do you know the difference between language and dialect?
Trust me, Catalan is not a dialect.
There is no single serious linguist that considers Catalan as dialect, even those who are Franco followers or Spanish unionists.
