quoted: So among all Catalan dialects, Valencian seems to be a kind of special dialect.

That's not true: Valencian is almost the same as the Catalan spoken in Lleida and in Tortosa and in Aragon, some people which are not experts could not tell the difference between someone from Tortosa and another from Castelló, for example. And that's not that far away from the central catalan spoken in Barcelona and surroundings. There are more variation in the Balearic islands or Alguer. The Valencian peculiarity are the politics, which again, they should be left apart!
