I will answer what I think, in my opinion and respect to your work, I
see that your opinions and your knowledge about academies and laws
which is obviously bigger than mine. 1. why a "dialect" has an own academy? Easy answer... because political way and people, and institutions want it, and also want to be different to Catalan Language. Secessionist if you want. Just because of an identity of being different. This doesn't mean it's "actually" different. They only want to be pollitically different. But the philologists and history man (the people who really know about languages are in a great majority saying that Valencian and Catalan are the same language, just different dialects. Obviously you can name it Catalan or Valencian depending on where you live. The same way people from out of Spain say Spanish Language, and people inside of Spain say Castilian language. Castilian and Spanish are the same language but different ways of naming it. As I say philologist and history men say they are the same. Political people say the are different. But when you want to know about languages you go to a philologist, no to a political man. The same as when you are ill you go and see the doctor, not to a political man... ---- The next of the email I have not enough knowledge of valencian institutions to answer you, so I suppose you are right. And of course I have no problem of having 10 different Valencian dialect translations, if you want. The only problem I have is that people like you doesn't recognise that Catalan and Valencian are the same language. Say it different if you want.... Catalan is a dialect of Valencian. You prefer sayed like this? I have no problem. Yes! Catalan is a dialect of Valencian and Valencian is a dialect of Catalan. The way it is named is not the problem. But you cannot change history. Jaume I, king of Aragon was king of Aragon, Catalonia and then conquered Valencia and Balear islands to the muslim in the middle age. This is the fact. He then resettle people from Aragon and Catalonia who spoked a language named Catalan. So, since then (almost 900 years ago) in Catalonia, Valencia and Balear Islands, the same language is spoken. Name it Valencian, Catalan, Balear, or whatever name you like, but don't try to convince anyone that Valencian is a diferent language from Catalan. This is not true. A Dialectal Variant, yes, but not different language. Of course, and returning to the theme of the questions... I have no problem at all that exists a translation named "RACV (Valencian)", the same I have no problem that exists a translation named "Klingon (Valencian)"... if you have the time to do so... Wesnoth is an open source game GPL, contributed by anybody who want to. So in my opinion it would'nt have to be a problem a translation to Valencian dialect, named "RACV(Valencian)". yours, Sergi Mario Rodrÿffffedguez wrote:
