About the Aragonese language
Aragonese is a language that belongs to the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family. The Aragonese language has suffered a secular decline and progressive substitution by Spanish in almost the entire Aragon territory since the 15th century. Currently, Aragonese is spoken in the northern area of Aragon (the Pyrenean area) and the language is fragmented into several dialects that are closely related to each other.
Speaker number trends
Current status
In the 2011 Censo de Población y Viviendas (Population and Housing Census), the Government of Aragon included several questions regarding the knowledge and use of native languages (Aragonese or Catalan) (cf table 1). It is noteworthy that, according to the census’ answers, there are as many as 8,618 speakers of Aragonese residing in the metropolitan area of Zaragoza which, despite the fact that it is not part of the linguistic area of Aragonese, is home to many families that moved from that area as well as to a number of new Aragonese speakers (source: Government of Aragon, 2011; Seminario Aragonés de Socialingüística, 2015).
