West Iberian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (199 words) |
 | West Iberian languages is a subcategory of Romance languages, which includes Spanish (Castilian), the languages derived from Galician-Portuguese, the languages in the Astur-Leonese branch (Asturian, Leonese and Mirandese), Extremaduran, Aragonese, Ladino, and their dialects or codialects. |
 | By most linguistic criteria, these languages are significantly closer to each other than to any other living language — including Catalan, the other major language of the Iberian Peninsula. |
 | Speakers of the West Iberian languages generally claim that they are all mutually intelligible to some extent. |
