I think that when referring to Catalan, Basque, etc.. as "Spanish Dialects", "Spanish" means "of Spain", not "of Spanish".
I don't know about Spain, but in Italy, there are two types of "dialects". The many languages spoken in Italy (Venetian, Neapolitan, Piedmontese), which roughly parallel the situation of Catalan, Basque, Gallego, etc..., are called "Dialects of Italy". Dialects descended from the Italian Language itself, such as the regional varieties spoken in each main city, are called "Dialects of Italian". Both types of "dialects" are commonly called Italian Dialects, as "Italian" can refer to "of Italy", or "of Italian". 1 person has voted this message useful |
