@@dreadpirategibi2038 The official language of the Balearic - Menorca included - is Catalan. Hence it is correct to say that these people are speaking Minorcan Catalan. To pretend otherwise is biased (Spanish) politics.

@@dreadpirategibi2038 I don't know what is the ley Celaa and I'm not interested in Spanish, Catalan or Ballearic politics. But I have some knowledge of linguistics and the history of European languages. The Ballearic dialects are so closely related to Catalan as for example the Andalusian dialects are to Castilian. They are the result of the Christian conquest of these territories in the Middle Ages. The settlers who established themselves in Minorca came directly from the Emporda district and the villages of what today is called Costa Brava, in the Northeast of Catalonia. Six centuries later, there are not many differences between the Menorqui dialect and the Catalan spoken by the older generation of locals in villages like Cadaques. See in You Tube the video "L'article salat al catala de Catalunya" and hear an older lady from Tossa de Mar (Costa Brava) - and tell us the difference between Menorqui and the language of that lady.

I think its more savory especially when its shrimp..

same

Me too little nigga!

Similar with Indonesian Dunia means world

@@@sitim5826 can't belie it bro

Swahiliis is Arabs plus Buntu

Gustavo De Mira It is true there are many similarities to Portuguese, French and Italian. Good morning in Catalã is bom dia, good afternoon is bona tarda. The numbers 0-9 are very close to the French Languedoc language.

Gustavo De Mira É verdade amigo. Eu gosto muito a região Catalan da fronteira da França até Alicante.

It sounds very Catalan.....

@@BaibaVulgaris Pons last name is Catalan,

Minorcan is Catalan. It is a variant of Catalan and would be understood by most Catalans.

the town is Es Mercadal, Minorca. Beautiful place.

@@Pepinyo33 Thank you muchly.

@@sfbirdclub please come, you will be most welcome. Minorcan people and balearics in general have such a strong connection to their roots, it is amazing. Are you British?

I thought they speaking a mixture of italian and some island spanish dilect. Catalan language sounds wonderful and also great hospitable people

Greg Johnson: They call them “llagostes” in Catalan - “langostas” in Spanish (= spiny lobsters, rock lobsters, or langoustes in English), not “llagostins” / “langostinos”. You are right: “llagostins” / “langostinos” in Catalan / Spanish are prawns in the UK. Langoustines (= scampi) in English are “cigalas” in Spanish.

In Spanish and Catalan langosta is lobster and langostino is large prawn. The Menorcan dish is called Caldereta de langosta.

truth

Janet Seidlitz - yeah! In English language it is called lobster but in Spanish language it is termed as langoustine. . . .

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Spiny Lobster in English, Langoustine in Spanish.

@@doloresdelosreyes2789 “Langosta” (in English spiny lobster, rock lobster, or langouste), not “langostino”. “Langostinos” are prawns. Langoustines or scampi in English are “cigalas” in Spanish.

You have an excellent ear. ...and you're absolutely right btw, Catalan (Menorquí in this case) and Italian are a lot more related than some people tends to think.

Marc Marti yea cuz after rome conquered italy, it sailed to Catalunya first and conquered it early in the republic, not conquering spain until much later, leaving Catalan much closer to Latin and therefore Italian

catalan, in its menorca's variety

pawel slabon no, they are speaking the minorcan dialect of catalan

I always thought they came in sizes like regular shoes.

I think he meant "hake" but I doubt that... if I'm not mistaking they are related to the sharks (that don't have any bones neither) anyway, as a Catalan (not a Menorquí but a kind of a near coast neighbour) I can tell you that the documentary is very nice but vaguely accurate in a lot of senses being one of the the subtitles and translations ;) Good intentions indeed, but plenty of mistakes...

@@marcmarti5273 No, he meant 'shark'.

@@davidtaylor2054 That has sense. probably you're right,

Thank you, thought I was going mad, yes he probably meant shark as David Taylor quite rightly pointed out (commentator saying family is also wrong, as it is in the same 'class' as sharks)

WhoFramedMSG I know!

Welcome to spain, spanish women sound like men, smoke like men and look like men, they laugh like horses, are quite unkempt and are very masculine after 30 years, only spanish men can get erection on them, no normal men! And Spanish men have become more feminine. It's all thanks to spanish feminists fighting for equality with men, now they are equal, lmao. But when the daughter in law is lazy to cut the fish and decides it's such a hard work she immediately remembers her husband: I'll ask Louis(because he's a man, therefore stronger), at this moment she has forgotten that she's equal with men, such are stupid ridiculous spanish feminists- hypocrats!!
