Bernard Weish or Bernard Weiss (or Bernhard, or Weis, depending on the source) was a purported fictional linguist who has been cited as an authority to support theories on the differences between the Valencian and Catalan languages. There is speculation that the character was created either by proponents of Language secessionism such as the Blaverists (Valencian anti-Catalan nationalists/regionalists) to bolster their arguments, or by those who oppose secessionism / to mock it.
