He said a thing i think is incredible.
He said that children gets teachen five languages (Aranese, catala, catilian, french and english) and he thinks it is "a better world than the one of their ages" when everything was in spanish. He is talking about Franco, we never forget.

so interesting that this video has been up this long and it's missing accurate captions. The Spanish is surprisingly close though-- maybe like 60-70%

No se pero sembla més aviat una barreja de lleidetà, una mica d'occità i de castellà

Vaya lengua, soy de Girona, cada vez se me olvida más hablar catalán, pero he entendido todo lo que ha dicho, o casi todo

[MarkGrago]

Sounds like a lovely amalgamation of French&Spanish.

[josealbert]

posiblemente ese idioma es lo que los romanos llamaban latin vulgar o sermo vulgaris, que quedó aislado en esas montañas y ahi se ha conservados hasta la actualidad

You can tell the interference from Spanish because words like "bueno" I can guarantee are not Aranese lol
