There are many Italians in Barcelona, and yes, it is very easy to communicate between Catalan and Italian. I assume the connection is Catalan-Occitan-Italian.

French is also very easy for me, but...

According to this paper, then, the myth of the "Reconquista" being from Asturias (i.e. people from Asturias resisted the Moors the most) is apparently wrong, and instead, the Basques and the Catalans...

A serious question: is it reasonable to give %, with some samples being 24.000 years old, and others much "younger"?

I have a basic question: how old are the reference populations?

Carlos is using his own data for this. I would probably agree with him that on average, now populations are quite mixed, due to...

By the way, where is it stated that in Catalonia there is no genetic imprint of the Moors? I would like to read more about this.

Of course, I have no clue. But it comes to my mind that Catalonia has traditionally been linked to the Occitània, on the south-east of France. In fact, during the last centuries there was quite a lot...

Which application is used for these analyses?

Which part of Catalonia? I am curious about this, thank you for posting.

The data Lomborg gives is based on the IPCC results and on Nordhaus work (Nobel Prize). No distorted data, being shouted by ideologues completely dominated by hatred and ideology, can be compared to...

The best thinking about this, IMHO, is by Bjorn Lomborg, see starting at 5:00 approx.:

He gives a nuanced and rational argumentation. He agrees there...

What we need to look is pros and cons. For sure there will be some cons. Water level will increase in some places. I believe the Dutch are pretty good at building dykes, so I guess we can quantify...

Being an ignorant about climate forecasts, what surprises me is that there are so many people using a "scandalized" tone of writing about feeling warmer than in the past, but then when you read what...

The best cars to buy now are good cars of the era in which still we had manual transmission everywhere, etc. These cars have still most of the necessary amenities, e.g. air conditioning etc and they...

Not a brand, but a manly characteristic in a car: manual transmission. Of course, many men drive automatic transmissions. Maybe myself, one day I will be forced to drive one. But a manual...

I did not explain myself well. I said that as a Catalan speaker I cannot understand anything, by helping myself with Catalan (i.e. Isabelle's language and Catalan are clearly different), as opposed...

Interesting! Is Auvergnat still spoken somewhere by young people? Or is it a language condemned to disappear in a few decades?

Occitan is (was!) spoken throughout a big area. Occitan, then, consists of a series of almost unintelligible dialects (what is a dialect and what is a language is just a political decision: look at...

I drink a small glass of red wine, with a good lunch, maybe once every quarter. My father still drinks one per day. Apart from that (and coffee), just water.

Your comment is inconsistent. In the OP, there is nothing stating that it refers to current cars, you speak about brands, and brands are not only current cars, but also old cars. In fact, I would say...

My car is like this:

There are many different Maseratis. I think the coupe is a very manly one, since it has the traditional...

Every day I discover something interesting in this forum ... it is wonderful to live in this age of new discoveries.

I disagree completely with this classification.

Peugeot, Citroën and Renault are basically identical type of cars.

The Lancia Delta Integrale is probably the most masculine car ever.

Doing a keto diet is the best thing I could do for my health. Yes, unrefined carbs are, according to a famous blogger, the new tobacco.

I am libertarian, so anti-Socialist, but my view is the opposite: simplistic arguments that the winners deserve so are the first path towards autocracy. Some people that success will have merit,...
