"Català" and "Valencià" are only two names for the same language.
If your "Valencian" language spoken by 2 million people, why has not an
ISO code? ;-)
I think this list is not the right place for this discussion, because it
is just politics and not a technical discussion. And also because the
arguments you are giving cannot be understood without a deep knowledge
of Spanish politics.
