#135 Valencian language

[Anonymous]

You have added a new locale: Valencian.

Fisrt of all you must know that this is not a language
is a Catalan dialect (the yellow colour of this map:
http://www.udl.es/usuaris/alpudl/images/PPCC_co
marques_i_dialectes_-_mut.JPG). It is not a big
problem in Mozilla, for example (where there are 4
Spanish dialects) they use the code ca-val.
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/l10n/mlp_status.ht
ml#moz_1.4b)

The problem is that the ortography that have used
the translator is out of legallity. During the Spanish
dictationship Franco invented that Valencian and
Catalan are different languages ("Separate and will
win" said Caesar). Then, they invented a different
ortography mixing Spanish and Catalan. Today only
less that the 1% of Valencian people use this
ortography. And all them speak Spanish. The
correct "ca-val" locale is like "ca" but with very few
(and no stupid) differences. This locale is an insult for
Valencian people and their language. The only
political party that want to use this normative has no
legal representation in Valencia and do all always in
Spanish.

I now that is dificulte to know it for you. Search
please "Valencia" in the dictionary. We speak Catalan.

I absolutly agree. This pseudovalencian locale must
disappear.
