Because you're speaking about 2 different things you need to say "are" rather than "is" - rabbitwho, Mar 28, 2011

Not all that you can find on the internet or places such as Wikipedia is the truth.

Let´s say that Catalán is the other official language of Cataluña besides Castellano; this is really the truth.

Catalán and Castellano are similar but not equal.

In Valencia we speak Valenciano not Catalán. Similar but no the same as Portuguese is similar to spanish but it is not the same.

              English:                 Please.   Goodbye

Examples: Spanish/castellano: Por favor Adiós Spanish/valenciano: Per favor Adeu Spanish/catalán: Si us plau. Adeu

Yes, different, like Spanish and Portuguese are different. They are different languages fairly closely related through common roots.

The short answer is yes.

I found this on this website...

Catalan (Català) is a Western Romance language spoken in eastern and northeastern Spain, chiefly in Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearic Isles, the eastern fringe of Aragon (La Franja) and in some municipalities of Murcia. Outside of Spain it is also spoken in the Roussillon region of France, in the northwest Sardinian city of Alghero (l'Alguer), in the small state of Andorra and among the emigrants in the US
