The other language of Portugal

This is an excellent opportunity for all linguists and Iberian-language speakers to get to know the other official language of Portugal - together with Portuguese - the Mirandese (from the region of Miranda do Douro).

After almost having disappeared from the world and still in risk of extinction, Mirandês is being revived by campaigns from local politicians with the help of the local population, and now it has school classes to pass on this heritage to their children and also it's own bards - a Mirandese rock band.

All in all, a good documentary piece of yet another forgotten European language, as langue d'oc and many others, and always a curious oddity to get to know.
