They're both different languages, though they have the same root: latin.
And, they've grown in separate territories, catalan is the language of the Catalonia nation/no-official country (north-west spain).
Quite hard to explain, but let me tell you that inside Spain, there're 3 nations besides the spanish one, though they're almost mixed: catalan nation, basque nation, and galego nation.

Philip's right, very right. I'm very amazed, really!! I didn't write that cause I think I would be boring.
And, if catalan was an official language on the EU it would be ranked as the 7th most speaked language...

"....and 15 years olds try to fuck it all up with words like wot and eva "
its a sign of the times. Part of the problem is text messaging on mobile phones. It encourages kids to use their own short hand language

And now the REAL answer to the question.
This is what David Richards told a friend of me when she visited the Mountain studios a few months ago:
Freddie recorded the last vocals of Mother Love and went home to London, saying he would come back for the last verse some other day. But he never did. 10 Days later David got a phonecall from someone (Can't remember who, but i thought it was Peter Freestone) saying Freddie was gone.
So the last bit Freddie recorded was in the first weeks of November 1991.
But maybe they started it in September (like Dark said). Cause Freddie was only available a few minutes a day. He would sing a few lines, and went back to his house

Of course I speak Spanish dark, but I only say that it's not my main language. ;)

Very correct. I'm turning 17 in less than a month, and heck, 70's/80's music is practically all that I listen to on a daily basis. (It kinda makes sense, owing to the fact that most modern-day stuff really stinks. Putrid. Justin pee-in-my-hair Timberlake -- sorry, not into that.)
Not to sound like a stupid teenager, but Queen does rock, even if I am too young to truly appreciate it. :)

On October 18th 1991, if I remember well.

Catalan: 6.5 million people as first and second language, modern Greek: 12 million, Swedish: around 9 million native speakers, Portuguese: around 10 million in Europe.
And therefore there are of course more than six languages ranked higher, amongst them also: German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Czech, Polish.
Not that anyone cares anyway, but since someone started the topic…

No, Hank. It's very interesting. I never know these things.

Since you seem to be astonished that Josuè is bilingual, let me stress that the largest part of the world's population has two or more mother languages. The western industrial countries are an exception. But then again, Catalans (amongst some other peoples) are an exception of the exception.
Of course the dominant countries have huge influence on the rest of the world and so the situation (sadly) changes pretty fast, small peoples are forced to abandon their original languages so they die out all the time.

Yup i agree 100%. English kids at school have a problem when it come to learning a European language -they can't see beyond the windows in their homes - into the real outside world.
"Why do i have to learn poxy Spanish when i'm never gonna go there" is a typical English kids comment.
