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

<comments removed> @meegle84 Please do not use comments to answer these questions. This proposal is not part of a Q&A site, and the task at hand is to help define what is on and off topic for a site. Comments are here to help improve the questions; not to answer them. See What is the rationale for deleting answers? Thank you. – Robert Cartaino♦ Feb 15 at 18:16

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

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

This question has a couple of close votes - maybe instead of asking a subjective 'why', it could be changed to ask something like: what (if any) programs etc have been established to help protect Catalan/if similar programs have been used for other minority languages/if said programs have been effective etc – ukemi Feb 11 at 12:37
