Welcome to our Romance Language Challenge, where we test the mutual intelligibility between Catalan and other Romance languages! If you're a speaker of French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish or any other Romance Language, let us know if you can understand what word is described in this mini-challenge. Whether you're a language enthusiast or just curious about how well speakers of Romance languages can understand each other, this challenge is for you!
Mutual intelligibility is the ability of speakers of different languages to understand each other without prior knowledge or special effort. In the case of Romance languages, mutual intelligibility exists to varying degrees due to their shared origin in Vulgar Latin and the influence of the Roman Empire.
Catalan is a Romance language spoken in Catalonia, Valencia, Balearic Islands, and the eastern part of Aragon in Spain, as well as in the Roussillon region of France and the city of Alghero in Sardinia, Italy. It is one of the official languages of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, and is also recognized as a co-official language in Valencia and the eastern part of Aragon.
🤗 Big thanks to Miriam from Catalonia!
