Catalonia and Valencia

[edit]

The respect to the culture and the opinion of a community is the base of all knowledge. An encyclopedia and any person who boasts to defend the culture must fight by this.

Over any discussion with innumerable reasons it is the objective truth, and in this case it is that the Valencians never have felt nor feel Catalan. Any attempt to impose the opposite will be incorrect. Any attempt to put to the Valencians in a community (linguistic, cultural or political) under denomination of "Catalan" it will mean the elimination of a people and a culture. The Valencians have their own history as kingdom of Valencia (before the conquest of Jaume I already the Kingdom of Valencia even existed), its own Literature (innumerable examples, to only mention some: Ausias March and Joanot Martorell), its own traditions (that are not those of Catalonia), Its own culture (in all the scopes, that she is not Catalan), its own control systems (they are not a province of Catalonia and it has never formed part of no organization or Catalan nation) and its own language (of origin different from the Catalan language –provençal- with category of official language and the conscience of its speakers to speak "Valencian", independently of which it is looked like the Catalan).

If the Valencians never have tried to absorve the culture of Catalonia, nor to distort the history of Catalonia, nor, really to eliminate Catalonia like independent reality of Valencia, why the Catalans yes do all this, and they do not respect the Valencians?

Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Citation needed, man. This is not a chat; please provide references to your assertions. I'm Valencian and I assure most of them are false. Period.

It is frequent to find texts in which Valencia is included within the “Catalan Countries”, nevertheless I want to correct this error of political origin (Catalan nationalism) so generalized. The Kingdom of Valencia never has belonged to any “Catalan Countries”. The Valencian culture cannot be described like “Catalan”, because these two cultures are different and have diverse origins (the Kingdom of Valencia exists from before the conquest of Jaume I). Really, the Valencians are not “Catalan” in any aspect; its history, language and culture do not have to be distorted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.79.86.158 (talk) 19:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
