O.P. RE: Valencian/Catalan
The thing is that when you say 'I can speak Valencian" you are using it as a synonim of "Catalan", it's inclusive, not exclusive. If you do create as different languages Brazilian/Portuguese/Flamish/Dutch/American/English/Scotish/Australian/French/Quebequian etc, then ok, everything would be understandable. But again, as it is, it's very confusing and implies politics, while languages in itself shouldn't have nothing to do with politics! But if you consider just English, or french, etc, then it's not logical.
