I want to know the answer to the following question:
How do linguists view Catalan and Valencian?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The official regulating body of the language of the Valencian Community, the Valencian Academy of Language (Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua, AVL) declares the linguistic unity between Valencian and Catalan varieties.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
