From more to less Pyrenean: the Upper Aragonese > the North-Western Catalans (including Andorrans) > the Upper (Basque-speaking) Navarrese.

thanks for this serious input in this not so serious thread.Quote:

The area would cover from the Cerdania or Andorra in the east to the watershed of the Arga (NW Navarre) in the west, and it'd also include the southern Gascon valleys on the other side of the Pyrenees.
Quite a few of my ancestors are from the area. Rather than Iberians or Gauls, watchmen of the ancient Pyrenean Wall. :fencing:
^^ most of my family are from the Pyrenees too, and 3 or 4 far (more or less) ancestors from the plains in ebro's valley.
sadly I've lost connection with that 'pyrenean way of life' but I have great memories from my childhood and the holydays spent there that will always be with me.
summers are wonderful in the high mountain, and winters too at least if you spend only a few days.
