Mallorcan dialect

Yeah, waiting for, I guess we'll get the Spanish national anthem, Dani.

I don't know whether we'll get some kind of Mallorquin anthem.

Unfortunately, between us and the podium we've got a roaring fountain.

Um, probably Granada's biggest fountain, which is maybe the noise that you can hear in the background.

Maybe we'll get onto that in a minute, but, um, Dani, otherwise, describe the scene.

Yeah, I mean, we're, we have just this big, big, big sign in front of us.

Ara i sempre estem amb tu, is, in this Mallorquin.

Uh, now and, now and always we are, we are with you, uh-

And, you know, these questions, these things I'm telling you guys, like, they're true, but they're also really controversial and sensitive as to what is a dialect, what is a language.

In the Balearic Islands, you have languages, varieties like Mallorquin, Menorquin.

Catalan is also spoken in a strip of southern France.

And in Andorra, it's actually the official language of the entire country.

my goodness, deepest, darkest.

Hence the Mallorquin.

Whenever we need something sorted and we need it in the government office, we know that if we send Rebecca and she speaks Mallorquin, it's going to get through the line.

I mean, I know that's really bad to say that, but it is true.

Yeah, it is.

Foreign.

Foreign.

Like they say, the Mallorquins go foreign.
