This is the area with more speakers left.Leonese, llionés, encompassing the vernaculars spoken in northern and western parts of the province of León, and a few western areas in the provinces of Zamora and Salamanca, in Spain. The distinction between Asturian and Leonese cannot be made in purely linguistic terms. Leonese was spoken in the past in a much larger area; however, it is now approaching extinction. The now-extinct dialects of the neighbour parishes of Rio de Onor and Guadramil, in the northern border of the District of Bragança, in Portugal; Mirandese, mirandés, in villages around the border town of Miranda do Douro, in the eastern border of the District of Bragança, in Portugal.In addition: Astur-Leonese dialects closer to Spanish are spoken in Cantabria. Some of them, especially western ones, are further grouped with the traditional name montañés; some others are outside this group and use their local glotonims (namely, pasiegu). There are different positions about whether these varieties are dialects of the Spanish language[citation needed], dialects of Astur-Leonese[citation needed] or independent languages on their own right[citation needed]. The Extremaduran language, estremeñu, spoken in northwestern Extremadura (Spain) is more distantly related to the group. The Asturian Eonavian dialect, eonaviegu or gallego-asturianu, spoken between the Eo and Navia rivers in Asturias is closer to Galician; it is sometimes considered the westernmost variety of Asturian[citation needed], but it is more often seen as either a group of Galician dialects or an independent language.Leonese (as a denomination for the whole linguistic group) was once regarded as an informal dialect (basilect) of Spanish or Castilian, but in 1906, Ramón Menéndez Pidal showed it was the result of Latin evolution in the Kingdom of León.Leonese is officially recognised by the Autonomous Community of Castile and León (2006). In Asturias it is protected under the Autonomous Statute legislation and is an optional language at schools, where it is widely studied.In Portugal, the related Mirandese language is recognized by the Assembly of the Republic as a co-official language along with Portuguese for local matters, and it is taught in public schools in the areas where Mirandese is natively spoken. Initially thought to be a basilect of Portuguese, José Leite de Vasconcelos studied Mirandese and concluded it was a separate language from Portuguese.. }
