WIKITONGUES: Antônio, Sebastião, and Domingos speaking Mirandese

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. 
Though it lacks official support by the Portuguese government, Mirandese is recognized regionally by the local government, and as a regional language by 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.
