If you think such a thing is necessary, propose it so we can discuss
it properly.

Occitan and Catalan are to be sure closely related, but they are not
mutually intelligible, except perhaps in border dialects.  Furthermore,
Catalonia recognizes the languages as distinct and official.
Occitan, however, lacks a standard form.
