Isabel speaking Mirandese | Romance languages | Wikitongues

Isabel speaking Mirandese, one of the Romance languages of Portugal.
This video was recorded by Daniel Bogre Udell in Miranda Do Douro, Portugal, where Isabel works at the Museu da Terra de Miranda. Mirandese (natively, Mirandês) is an Iberian Romance language spoken by some 9,000 people, principally in the towns and villages of Portugal's Miranda do Douro municipality. Though historically only a spoken language, Mirandese developed a written culture in the twentieth century, which persists today in the works of Amadeu Fereira and Fracisco Niebro. It enjoys official recognition on the local, national, and international levels as a regional language of the European Union. A member of the Astur-Leonese dialect continuum, it is most closely related to Leonese, Asturian, Cantabrian, and Extrameduran, but also to Galician, Fala, Portuguese, and Spanish.
