The three sentences are in Catalan.

I misread your post then. I thought "deixar" could only be portuguese or galician, but since i didn't recognize the language i thought it would be one of the more unkown ones.The three sentences are in Catalan.

I've noted you misread it or I explained it badly. I was just trying to show the central position of Catalan by choosing lexicon which could be understood by someone from that area.
For instance, the third sentence could easily be understood by both Portuguese and Spaniards. But callar, deixar, buscar, apagar, cansar and matar are not verbs that the French or Italians would recognize.
In fact, medieval/literary Catalan has forms for those verbs which are more similar to the French/Italian ones.

This reminds me of French, I think.
Yep, some word are derived directly from french (and not from occitan), but very few...the ''brothers'' of piemonteis are, btw, all the gallo-romance languages: from the northern italian languages passing through occitan, french and catalan.
Btw, the dialect of the Langhe (south/east of Torino) is the most archaic, internally the piemontŕis language.

Sounds strange, but interesting. Most are spoken very quickly and the speech is quite broken/disrupted rather than smooth flowing. Some are quite nice to listen to but they are very alerting. The Swiss one was funny, seemed slightly germanised compared to the others, and spoken a bit more slowly.
Interesting! Thanks for the videos.
Ligurian (also the images are very good)
