Purpose and description

Let an agent explain Aragonese, relay classification, history, dialects, legal status and revitalisation from linguistic and regional sources with debates attributed, describe the named varieties, and distinguish Aragonese from Spanish, Catalan in eastern Aragon, Occitan and Asturian-Leonese.

A Romance language spoken in the valleys of the Pyrenees in the Aragon region of north-eastern Spain, descended from medieval Navarro-Aragonese, the language of the Kingdom of Aragon, with dialects the registry aliases name including Hecho or Cheso Aragonese, Aisinian, Fovane Aragonese, Eastern Aragonese, and historical Judaeo-Aragonese spoken by Aragonese Jews before 1492; it is endangered, with speaker estimates in the low tens of thousands, and Aragon s language laws recognise it, while debates about standard spelling have occurred, with positions attributed. Revitalisation includes schooling and media.

What it is for: Communication and regional identity in Aragon.

It can be explain classification and history; relay dialects and status; describe named varieties; present orthography debates with attribution.
