Mirandés Language - Spanish speakers & Brazilians: How much can u understand? (Videos)

[Sebastianus Rex]

Language almost extinct but still spoken in Northeastern Portugal, especially by older generations. Related to Asturo-Leonese languages.

How well can you understand what they say and sing?

[Diego Garcia]

More or less, some phrases in each video

I like the music, mainly in the second vid "fraile cornudo" lol

[Tannhauser]

Eu so escutei o video em que falam os 3 idosos, falam muito devagar(lo dije bien? ya se que me faltan todos los signo de puntuación ksksks) entao eu posso comprender muito.

Me gusto o encontre interesante que digan "asado" en vez de "churrasco" como en el sudeste brasileiro.

Se voce me disse que eles estao falando portugues eu acredito! nao achei diferencias significativas posiblemtente porque comprendi las palabras amigables tanto en español como en portugues. También a turma de muchachos se expresaron en un lenguaje muy simple.

From the first video you can understand about 80-85% of what they were talking about


Mais fácil de entender do que um açoriano falando lol

There are a lot of Azoreans where I live, they are borderline unintelligible. Micaelenses even sound kind of French to me, which is strange...

Another dialect I found difficult to understand was the Portuguese spoken in Florianópolis when I visited there.

To answer OP, I understand them more or less.

Yes, even the Portuguese from continental Portugal say that sometimes they can't understand the Azoreans speaking, for example, see this video, doesn't it seem like he's speaking another language? lol



About Florianópolis, yes it is a city founded by Azoreans, that's why until today the accent of the city's inhabitants has an Azorean influence.

Seems most similar to Gallego. Yes I can understand most of it.

O curioso dos Açores é que tem múltiplos sotaques, cada uma das 9 ilhas tem o seu, e a ilha de São Miguel tem vários. Esse vídeo é de Rabo de Peixe, que é uma pobre cidade piscatória com forte identidade local, mesmo para os Açoreanos é considerado um caso à parte e permaneceu relativamente isolada..hardcore Açoreano, honestamente já me parece claramente um dialeto, não compreendo quase nada.

PS. Aliás, só para verem o nível da coisa, estive na Itália à pouco tempo e entendia melhor eles a falar no dialecto Romano e Marchegiano do que o pessoal de Rabo de Peixe.

Edit: Umas lendas Açoreanas! Tentem decifrar.

O portugués e o galego son linguas irmás, ambas veñen da mesma lingua base polo que é lóxico que sexan parecidas, sen o galego o portugués non existiría e viceversa.

[ÁGUIA]

Mirandês is probably strongly influenced by Portuguese language by now, given the sample from the first video. They are basically speaking Portuguese with a Trás-os-Montes' accent with some Spanish words in the mix here and there.
