	Catholic Culture : Liturgical Year : La Falla de San Chusep—Saint Joseph's Day in Valencia (Activity)
		La Falla de San Chusep, as it is called in the local dialect, has been celebrated for centuries, and it is perhaps the most spectacular, the most colorful of all Spanish holidays.
		San Chusep (St. Joseph) is the patron saint of Valencia, and since the sixteenth century his day has been celebrated by the city's artisans and craftsmen with a great deal of zest, humor, and originality.
		In the Valencian dialect, falla means "pyre." It seems that the term originated in the annual custom of the carpenters who cleaned their shops of shavings and discarded wood at this time of the year and burned the debris with a short ceremony.

		Castilian (what you call Spanish) speakers don't understand Catalan nor the Majorcan Catalan dialect, but they are able to understand some of the Valencian Catalan dialect.
		That's because Valencian has simple vowel sounds (and in some areas is a bit "castilianized"), whereas Catalan keeps the old differentiation between open and closed vowels.
		Joking aside....The Neapolitan dialect and Sardinian languages are VERY close to latin.
