Catalan pronunciation is nowhere like French pronunciation though. It's far more similar to Spanish than it is to French

It looks like un mézcla de español y francés

That's the definition of Catalan

With some turkish sprinkled in there for good measure I think (not apparent in the text above though, but look at the Cant del Barça or even the word Barça)

People always say this but it's closer to Italian and Portuguese than French

Yep. Catalan is incredibly similar to Occitan
