This is a continuation of a series that I call...Can a Spanish speaker understand Romance language edition. Play air horn
Today we will look at Occitan, Romansch and Mirandese. I am going to rank them from 1-5 to see how much me as a Spanish speaker can understand.
Let’s start with Occitan! So Occitan or the langue d’Oc is
So Occitan is spoken in Southern France, Monaco, Italy's Occitan Valleys, as well as Spain; collectively, these regions are sometimes referred to as Occitania.
There are several ranges estimating that Occitan is spoken by anything in between 100,000 or 800,000 speakers, and UNESCO says that 4 out of 6 dialects are at a high risk of endangerment.
It is important to point out that little more than 100 years ago at the turn of the 20th Century, the French government launched an aggressive campaign to extinguish any language that was not the standardized French. They forbade any teaching of Occitan and people were humiliated for speaking it. Today it is no longer banned and experiencing a modest revival. Again let’s listen to this cool language

Romansch
Now we move to the 4th language of Switzerland, Romansch. This language came to this region over 1500 years ago and evolved from vulgar latin.Today it is mostly spoken in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Romansch has had a lot of contact with German and most Romansch speakers are bilingual, so I am curious to see if they have influenced each other. I can’t wait. Let’s listen to it.

Mirandese
Last but not least we move to Mirandese! This is an official regional, and it is a direct descendant of Astur-leonese which I recommend checking out in our previous video. Since it became official in 1998, it is taught in schools, written in newspapers, but many young people consider it antiquated and don’t have interest in learning it.
