Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.
Asturian is a Romance language spoken in Asturias, a region in northern Spain. Part of the Asturleonese linguistic group, it is closely related to Leonese and Mirandese, with influences from Latin, Spanish, and Celtic languages. Though it is recognized and promoted in Asturias, Asturian lacks official status, limiting its institutional use. It has around 100,000 fluent speakers and an additional 450,000 with some knowledge of the language. Asturian has been preserved through oral traditions, folklore, and modern literature, with efforts to standardize and revive its use in schools and public life.
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.
