Talk:Balearic Catalan

[Untitled]
There is no such thing as a Balearic dialect, there are several dialects spoken in the Balearics, but there is no name for that group. They are Mallorquin/Mallorquí, Menorquin/Menorquí and Ibicenco/Eivissenc (in Spanish/Respective dialect). This article should be re-titled and proper reference made to each dialect.

 * It's true. This should be said in the article, so that there are three sections and as much subsections as neccessary (don't forget that there are noticeable differences between mallorquin speakers). Anyway, I think the Balearic title is appropiate, and making sections would be enough. Also, articles called Mallorquí, Menorquí and Eivissenc should be created that redirect to this one.

 * Perhaps a rename to Balearic dialects would be in order. I interpret Balearic to be on par with terms like Northern Catalan and Central Catalan where there isn't complete uniformity but there are a body of distinguishing features. I don't recall how it's treated in the linguistic literature on Catalan.  — Æµ§œš¹  [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ]  21:12, 16 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The extra s makes sense. Nobody says I speak Balearic, however, from the point of view of an external observer, the islands share a number of salient linguistic traits. --Jotamar (talk) 14:24, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
