What does Catalan sound like to you?

[Fincher]

[miscellaneous]

Like north italian dialect.

[Agron]

Like a mix of Portuguese and Spanish

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Like a bunch of Algheresi XD

Let me explain: Alghero is a city in western Sardinia where the people speak Catalan. Whenever I think Catalan I think of Alghero.

[Damião de Góis]

Like a mix of Portuguese and Spanish

That would be Galician. Catalan is much harder to understand to me.

[Agron]

That would be Galician. Catalan is much harder to understand to me.

Well I don't speak neither Portuguese nor Spanish. But to me Catalan sounds like Spanish with some Portuguese in it.

[kabeiros]

It mostly sounds like Spanish

[Longbowman]

Like Occitan

[Ouistreham]

It mostly sounds like Spanish

Definitely yes.
More like Spanish than anything else.

Like Occitan

Written Catalan looks similar to Occitan — logically, in view of their close kinship.
But the spoken renditions are considerably different:


You know, it's like Frisian: it sounds Dutch in the Netherlands, and like German in Germany.

[Lábaru]

Like a Castilian with a stuffy nose.
