Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
The Mirandese language is a Romance language spoken in northeastern Portugal, primarily in the region of Miranda do Douro. It belongs to the Astur-Leonese branch of the Iberian languages and shares similarities with Asturian and Leonese but is distinct from Portuguese, the country's dominant language. Mirandese has co-official status in its region, recognized by Portuguese law since 1999, which protects and promotes its use in education, public signage, and cultural activities. Although it has a small number of speakers, estimated at around 15,000, Mirandese is a vibrant symbol of local identity and heritage, celebrated through literature, music, and community traditions.
Extremaduran is a Romance language spoken primarily in the Extremadura region of western Spain, as well as in some adjacent areas of Castilla y León. It is part of the Astur-Leonese linguistic group and shares many features with neighboring languages like Leonese and Mirandese in Portugal. Often overshadowed by Castilian Spanish, it is considered a minority language and faces challenges related to intergenerational transmission and official recognition. Extremaduran is typically divided into three dialectal varieties: Northern, Central, and Southern, with Northern Extremaduran retaining the most distinctive features. Despite its precarious status, efforts to preserve and promote the language are ongoing through cultural organizations, literature, and digital initiatives.
