† Astur-Leonese is the generic name for a group of closely related linguistic varieties included in the West Iberian branch of the Romance languages. The linguistic varieties in the group are assigned different names: Asturian, "asturianu", or "bable", in the Spanish province of Asturias; Leonese language, "llionés", in western parts of the provinces of León, Zamora and Salamanca, and in the towns of Rio de Onor (Rionor) and Guadramil, in the District of Bragança (Portugal) [2]; and "Mirandese" in Miranda de l Douro (Portugal). Astur-Leonese dialects closer to Spanish are spoken in Cantabria, where they are called "Cantabrian" or "montañés". There are different positions about whether these speech forms are to be considered dialects of the Spanish language, varieties of Astur-Leonese or independent languages on their own right. The Extremaduran language ("Castúo") spoken in north-western Extremadura is more distantly related to the group. ♣ “Es hermoso, grandilocuente y sonoro el idioma castellano, idioma que lo mismo requiebra que alienta a la pelea; pero es suavísimo el bable; vigoroso el catalán; el andaluz, muelle y gracioso; vivo, nuestro euskara, y melancólico y dulce el gallego.” (Miguel de Unamuno).
