I think it should be stressed that they are the same language, only that spoken in different regions. That is, I would ask for the differences between the dialect spoken in Catalonia and the one spoken in Valencia – fedorqui Feb 5 at 6:39

I'm curious why this got a few close votes. 'In what areas is dialectal/regional term x used' are considered on topic on the other extant language SE's I'm familiar with. – ukemi Mar 14 at 19:25

@ukemi: I don't either understand the reason of the close votes. – Charo Mar 14 at 19:33

I see some close votes here and cannot understand why: the evolution of the language is quite an interesting aspect of a SE language site. – fedorqui Feb 14 at 15:19

I see room for improvement in how the question is posed. Maybe specifically asking which have been the major foreign influences, phonetic adaptations and other similar change/evolution factors. I preferred making the question short and as generalistic as possible though. – Xavi López Feb 14 at 15:56

@Xavi in Spanish.SE we've had some interesting questions like this: ¿Podría un hispanohablante actual entenderse bien con uno del pasado?. To avoid this being a bit to general, you could emphasise some aspects such as pronunciation. – fedorqui Feb 15 at 12:29
