The purpose of this thesis is to present an objective overview
of the controversy concerning the placement of Catalan among the Western
Romance languages. Catalan has been classified as Ibero-Romance)
Galla-Romance) and as a member of new groupings of the various Romance

and one large group of the Western Romance languages which exeludes
French. A critical analysis of the theories of classification
shows the Ibero-Romance theory to be the soundest. The strongest

from linguistic comparisons of Modern Catalan and Old Castilian or
other dialects and languages of the Peninsula) excluding Modern
Castilian because it was the most innovative.
