Catalan people are called Polish people

As some of you know, we ( Catalan people) are called Polish people.

The rest of Spain call us Polish as a synonym of foreigner, because a lot of Catalans don’t want to be a part of Spain; we want to be an independent country.

Another reason is because we speak Catalan and no one understands anything so it’s like if they heard Polish (because Polish is a really difficult language).

Some people think that it’s because the Nazi invasion to Poland coincided with Franco’s invasion of Catalonia.

As you can see, we have different reasons , so everyone takes the one they like.

For us it's more than difficult. It's like a tongue-twister

What about trying to pronounce this Catalan sentence?
"Setze jutges d'un jutjat mengen fetge d'un penjat; si el penjat es despengés es menjaria els setze fetges dels setze jutges que l'han jutjat"
or maybe this one..
"En Pinxo va dir-li a en Panxo "vols que et punxi amb un punxó?", i en Panxo va dir-li al Pinxo "punxa'm, però a la panxa no"
Is Catalan easy, our dear friends?

"w szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie", "to cóż że ze szwecji, to nic że ze szwecji", and my favourite: "jola lojalna, lojalna jola"

I see we need to pracise both Polish and Catalan tongue twisters when you visit us in July. Maybe the languages will then appear not so difficult, who knows.

król karol kupił królowej karolinie korale koloru koralowego. xD
