Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa stated ” Catalan not a language When asked about the number of languages she spoke in an interview against American Elizabeth Mandlik before her debut in San José this morning.
Badosa gave an interview to the ‘Lawn Tennis Association’ (LTA) and asked questions about a variety of topics. Among them are the languages spoken. The actor, who was born in the United States but settled in Spain since childhood, replied: “Spanish, Catalan, not a language but I still count and English.”
Badosa’s words provoked the backlash this Wednesday by the Catalan organization ‘Plataforma per la Llengua’ to defend Catalan in 1993. “Of course Catalan is a language, Paula Badosa: you can be totally proud!” Write from your Twitter account.
“We encourage you act as a worldwide linguistic reference: no doubt most of the ten million Catalan speakers are your followers!”, punishing the platform after Paula Badosa’s performances.
