RnDmS If someone says “buonos dies” to you, do not correct them, because they are not wrong. He is speaking to you in Mirandese , the second official language of Portugal. In the Portuguese country, a second language is spoken that is different from Portuguese and is part of an Asturian branch that includes traditional languages from León, Asturias and Zamora. Although Mirandés is not well known, especially outside of Portugal, it still survives in the region known as Terra de Miranda , made up of the municipalities of Miranda de Duero , Vimioso and Mogadouro , in the district of Braganza , very close to the Spanish border. . Terra de Miranda Distribution of the asturleones in Terra de Miranda. By Denis Soria However, there are many people, Portuguese included, who have never heard Mirandese spoken and don't even know what it sounds like. We can simply say that it is something similar to Portuguese mixed with Galician and with some Spanish sounds. It is much more similar to Portuguese, both in phonetics and accent.
But it is possible to discern some sounds in certain words that are different from the Portuguese language and that are a little closer to the Spanish pronunciation. Alcides Meirinhos, member of the Associaçon de la Lhéngua i Cultura Mirandesa , created in 2003, and one of the great promoters of Mirandese, explains that “the Mirandese language is Cell Phone Number List mainly a speech.” Antônio, Domingos, and Porfirio speaking Mirandese | Romance languages | Wikitongues Isolated in a small region for hundreds of years, given the geographical conditions of its own natural territory, the language was transmitted orally from popular Latin. It was a language marginalized due to its humble origin and that did not have the recognition and much less the support of the Estado Novo, the dictatorial regime that was in force in Portugal until 1974.
Still, Mirandese was declared the country's national language in 1999 , when Portuguese authorities claimed that it was not just a dialect, but had its own characteristics that were very different from Portuguese. Listening to the language, however, is not easy, considering that there are not many people who know how to speak it anymore. It was not until 2008 that a spelling convention was established, sponsored by the Miranda de Duero City Council and directed by a group of linguists, in order to establish clear rules for writing, reading and teaching Mirandese, as well as to establish a writing style that is as unitary as possible. Alcides Meirinhos does not have data on how many people can speak Mirandese today, but there are signs that the language is disappearing. According to a survey carried out in 2020 by the University of Vigo, around 3,000 people know the language. The same study states that by 2040, Mirandese could become a dead language.
