I can read Mirandese. I don't know how to speak it, though.
It is a language spoken by some 15.000 people in Northeastern Portugal. Some people on the other side of the border speak other versions of this language, which is Asturian-Leonese. Every speaker of the language also speaks Portuguese. It has an interesting story, since it descends from the language spoken in the Kingdom of León. Portugal obtained its independence from this Kingdom, but our language is more closely related to the one spoken in its Western part, that is, Galician.

I study Sicilian, but I understand why it isn't on the list. Although it has more native
speakers than some of the languages that are listed it is still considered a dialect by many, and it would be pretty ridiculous to add every dialect to the list. 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

As far as I'm aware Akkadian is used to reconstruct some sounds of Sumerian through Akkadian syllabic spelling, loanwords and sign names. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Planning on learning Edo in the near future, only problem is that the only book I've
found isn't written using tones, so that could be problematic. I'll have to look around a little more. 1 person has voted this message useful |
