Phonetics
Phonetic features of Northern Catalan include:
- It has only five stressed vowels, the smallest number of any Catalan dialect: /i, e, a, o, u/. In some local varieties /y, ø/ can also be found.
- Like other Eastern Catalan dialects, unstressed /a/ and /e/ are realized as schwa [ə], and [ʊ] substitutes unstressed /o/.
- There are some instances of historic stressed /o/ that has changed to /u/: Canigó > Canigú.
- As in the Balearic dialects, final a [ə] is not pronounced in words ending with ia if the stress is before the penultimate syllable.
Morphology
Some subdialects keep the singular masculine definite article lo, as in North-Western Catalan and many varieties of Occitan.
Northern Catalan has a large body of words imported from French and Occitan. It also features some grammatical forms and structures that are typical of Occitan, such as the use of a lone post-verbal pas, rather than a lone preverbal no to express basic negation (Northern Catalan canti pas vs. Central Catalan no canto, 'I don't sing' or 'I'm not singing'); pas is also used in some other Catalan dialects for emphasis but always with no before the verb (Central Catalan no canto pas, 'I do not sing' or 'I am not singing').
Notes
- Catalan pronunciation: [kətəˈla səptəntɾiuˈnal]
