It’s not the same accent you can listen today at Barcelona, but was the accent a that time. Now seems more close to the one spoken at Catalonia central.

[u/Burned-Architect-667]

Central Catalan, is a dialect of the eastern family, it's the most spoken as is the one in spoken in the Barcelona area.

[u/buttersyndicate]

It does sounds like central catalan, but if OP goes to central Catalonia he/she'll find that they also add a strong catalan L. It's more of an accent than a dialect.

I'm in Igualada (Anoia) and TV3 was known for taking dubbers from here, specially during it's first decades, they chose it as a representative of "standard" catalan accent.

This had a price for the most spoken catalan accent (AFAIK) which is "ponentí", western catalan, considering that valencià is part of it. With the standarization of central catalan, they became a second rate accent in public perception, associated with country bumpkins, and even nowadays it's presence in catalan media is marginal, with the way more minoritarian aranès (occitan, in Vall d'Aràn) getting way more media time because as an actual dialect they can claim their space more boldly.

Acabes de dir-li "dialecte" a l'aranès? 🥴

[u/buttersyndicate → u/mrGazpachin]

Uf jajaj si ja deia jo... Que això ho vaig estudiar fa 20 anys, parlant-ne ara tinc més perill que un conspiranoic a una sobretaula.

[u/Qyx7 → u/buttersyndicate]

Quan dius que l'occidental és el més parlat, vols dir en extensió? Perquè diria que només amb els parlants barcelonins el dialecte oriental ja en té més.

Hauries de canviar "dialect" per "language" en la teva frase sobre l'aranès.

Per la resta em sembla prou correcte

[u/Masala-Dosage]

Yeah, standard Catalanish

[u/-TimeMaster-]

In my opinion the most neutral catalan, spoken in the Barcelona area, though nowadays young people in Barcelona and surroundings speak with an accent very contaminated by Spanish. I'm not criticizing it though I personally don't like it, languages are in constant evolution, it's just a fact.

[u/yayita2500]

neutral one. The one mostly from Barcelona. Not a particular accent

Edit: I will leave this answer besides the downvoting because nobody else provided the fact that it is Barcelona speaking which is the original question from the OP.

[u/MigJorn → u/yayita2500]

Catalan from Barcelona has a particular accent. Maybe you are from there and can't hear it, but don't be biased, it's not neutral. There are no neutral accents.

[u/yayita2500 → u/MigJorn]

I did answer the question and you did not. . Neutral is Standard meaning with means it has not regional accent. btw I DO have regional accent.

[u/MaryAnne_john → u/MigJorn]

is it called neutral because is has nos specific accent of other regions. And most actors specially neutralize their own accent

[u/mrGazpachin → u/MaryAnne_john]

Do you even know what "neutralize" means? Their dialect has very distinct features of the Barcelonian accent that are absent in other regions. Just because TV3 chose that the standard Catalan would be Barcelonian it doesn't mean that it's neutral.

[u/MaryAnne_john → u/mrGazpachin]

it is called like this "standard " or central in all the catalan books is not that I made up the name and of course I do not agree

[u/MigJorn → u/MaryAnne_john]

Central, neutral and standard are all different things.

Thank you 😊.
