    French is the most clear-throated Romance language. Its phonology has been dictated by God Himself

    I think Languedocian is more central, but that might be French tropism.

    Catalan sounds too nasal and pseudo-French, the Valencian variant instead sounds more sober and clean:

    Valencian sounds like purely and simply like Castillan with random Catalan words thrown in.

    No, what do you mean already exists, it's called Churro and it's a dialect spoken in Castilian speaking areas with Valencian influence. For example, they speak Castilian but pronunciate the C as S like in Valencian, the O like in Valencian and and the S like in Valencian besides throwing many Catalan words.

    I can't find any video, but it sounds like a native Valencian speaker speaking Castilian.

    Galicians are the authentic Spaniards, hence the True Hebrews and Goths.

    Yes, but their language is the same as Portuguese, even if their blood is truer.
