 Aragonese language Information
Aragonese /ˈæɹəɡɒnˌiːz/ (aragonés) is a Romance language now spoken by some 10,000 people over the valleys of the Aragón River, Sobrarbe and Ribagorza in the province of Huesca, Aragon, Spain.

One of the key moments in the history of Aragonese was when a king of Castilian origin was appointed in the 15th century: Ferdinand I of Aragon, also known as Ferdinand of Antequera.

 Grammar of Aragonese
These "NOTES..." (which I firstly wrote as a project work when I was still studying at the university, around 1985, and I have only updated now for this specific purpose) must be considered just as rough sketches on several grammar subjects of the Aragonese language.
