Hoi, I understand that a discussion about Catalan also exists in the ISO 639 world. My impression is that Catalan and Valencian are both considered to be part of "Ibero-Romance Northeastern". However, given that Catalan has so far been considered to include Valencian, it will be interesting to see what the result will be.
When you ask for help for starting "your own" Wikipedia, it has to be understood what the language context is. When people say our language is different, it does not automatically follow that their assessment is accepted for instance, there are differences between the many flavours of Spanish, English, Portuguese and we do not consider the difference enough reason to start another Wikipedia project for flavours of those languages.
So from my perspective, it is of relevance what happens in the ISO 639 realm. When they make Valencian indeed a language, it will be interesting to see what the impact will be on Catalan.
Thanks, GerardM

Hi,
Our friends and I we're very surprised about the answers replied to my mail account because we consider Valencian different to Catalan and that's why we want to start our Wikipedia. We have a lot of articles and info explaining those differences, we have our culture, different to Catalonian culture, our traditions and our celebrations. We want to put this in our Wikipedia, but first you must understand that Valencian is not Catalan. I repeat the answer: Anybody can help?
Thanks for the replies,
Carlos.

Hi,
The intention is that you may use ca.wikipedia.org.
It is actually started by Valencians, and prominent writers there are Valencian.
