  2. Nearly! Catalan.
    It's a long story, but I'll try and keep it short: Silvia and myself live and work in Catalonia, a small country/nation/region (delete depending on your political opinion!) currently in the north of Spain. As such, the Catalan language has some aspects which seem like Spanish, and some which seem like French.

    However, as Catalan is its own language, evolving independently from Latin at the same time as Spanish and French did, I could just as easily say that French and Spanish look like Catalan!

    Suffice it to say that English is my first language, Catalan is Silvia's, and we both also speak Spanish fluently - so we have a tri-lingual blog!
