	Are these 2 languages the same ? - Anime Otaku Forums
		Spanish is very similar to Italian; they are both Indo-European Italic Romance Italo-Western languages.
		No, Italian is significantly closer to Spanish than French (French is an Indo-European Italic Romance Italo-Western Western Gallo-Iberian Gallo-Romance Gallo-Rhaetian Oïl language; Italian is an Indo-European Italic Romance Italo-Western Italo-Dalmatian language; Spanish is an Indo-European Italic Romance Italo-Western Western Gallo-Iberian Ibero-Romance West Iberian language.) Spanish and Italian, unlike French, have distinctive stress.
		But they are separate languages and are not, by any means, mutually intelligible.

	closest language to french Antimoon Forum
		Brennus, I was specifically speaking of the Gallo-Italian languages, which are most definitely closer to all of the Italo-Western languages than the Italo-Dalmatian languages, one of which is Italian.
		Considering that Occitan is the Romance language outside of the Oïl languages and Franco-Provençal with the most contact with the Oïl languages, it wouldn't be surprising that it would be rather French-like, even if it weren't technically genetically as close to French, as, say, the Rhaetian languages and the Gallo-Italian languages.
		And if one disqualifies all Oïl languages and Franco-provençal from consideration, then it would have to be Occitan, or if one considers Occitan to be a group of related languages, one of them (but which one it would be, I am not sure, but it probably is not Gascon).

	Catalan language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Ethnologue, its specific classification is a member of the East Iberian branch of the Ibero-Romance branch of the Gallo-Iberian branch of the Western subcomplex of the Italo-Western complex of the Romance group of the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family.
		Nevertheless, differences do exist: the accent of a Valencian is recognisable, there are differences in subjunctive terminations, and there are a large number of words unique to Valencian; but those differences are not any wider than among North-Western Catalan and Eastern Catalan.
		The issue, as with Serbian and Croatian, of whether Catalan and Valencian constitute different languages or merely dialects has been the subject of political agitation several times after the Franco era.

		This ties in with the Celtic substratum theory that the Romans were never able to teach the Gauls to speak Latin in Roman fashion so Modern French is basically a mixture of Latin words and Celtic speech sounds.
		Spoken Southern French is more conservative both for a substratum reason (Occitan) as for the fact that French was originally introduced in the South more through books (spelling) than through the actual knowledge of the more evolved spoken Northern French where half the word is swallowed.

		The three are part of the Italo-Western grouping of the Romance languages, which are a subgroup of the Italic branch of Indo-European.
		Standard Italian is based on the Tuscan dialect and is somewhat intermediate between the languages of Southern Italy and the Gallo-Romance languages of the North.
		Out of the Romance languages, Italian is generally considered to be the one most closely resembling Latin in terms of vocabulary, though Romanian most closely preserves the declension system of Classical Latin while Sardinian is the most conservative in terms of phonology.
