Homenatje a Catalunya*

Kevin Drum quizzes on Blog languages and gets insta blasted simultaneously by two commenters

"4. Obscure micro-languages: Are there more Breton blogs or Catalan blogs?"



Catalan an obscure micro-language? Brace yourself for lots of flak on that one, Kevin.

Catalan is an "obscure micro language"? Over 10m people speak it, and it is the mother tongue for two thirds of them!

OGMB and I are NOT the same person, I swear! Posted by: Andrew on August 13, 2004 at 8:54 PM PERMALINK

I'm officially freaked out now, though. Thank God you used quotes around "obscure micro language".Posted by: ogmb on August 13, 2004 at 8:56 PM PERMALINK

* My recollection of the translation of "Homage to Catalonia" into Catalan.
