Abstract
The project 'Els refranys més usuals de la llengua catalana' (http://www.refranysmesusuals.cat/) (The most common proverbs in the Catalan language) succeeded in collecting, between January 2014 and January 2015, eight hundred eighty-four (884) surveys from Catalan-speaking territories. Having examined the data and established a general ranking, our purpose is to contextualize within the scope of Romance languages the top five rated Catalan proverbs. Once we have the Romance equivalents, we will comment on the outstanding aspects of these proverbs. Although Galician is the main language of our article, we will take into account most Romance languages, such as Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Occitan, Friulian and perhaps to a lesser extent, Asturian. Finally, we will include the English equivalents of the most popular proverbs. Keywords: Catalan proverbs, digital survey, comparative paremiology, Romance paremiology.
