Aragonese Language

Aragonese is a Romance language spoken in the Aragon region of northeastern Spain. It is closely related to Spanish, Catalan, and Occitan but has its own distinct vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Although it once flourished, Aragonese has seen a decline in speakers, largely due to the dominance of Spanish. Efforts are ongoing to revitalize the language through education and cultural initiatives. Aragonese is recognized as a minority language and has historical significance, reflecting the region's unique cultural heritage. Its preservation is vital for maintaining linguistic diversity in Europe.
