Aragonese

/ˌærəɡoʊˈneɪz/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of Aragon, a region in northeastern Spain, its people, language, or culture.

Etymology

From Spanish 'aragonés,' derived from the region name Aragon (from Latin 'Aragonia'). This demonym follows standard patterns of regional naming conventions.

Kelly Says

The Aragonese language is a Romance language distinct from Spanish, Catalan, and other Iberian tongues—yet most people have never heard of it because Spain's political history suppressed it. Recovering minority languages is like archaeological work for words.
