  Extremaduran language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Extremaduran is a Romance language spoken by some thousands in Spain, most of them in the autonomous community of Extremadura and the province of Salamanca.
The northern one is usually considered to be the language, and is spoken in the northwest of the autonomous region of Extremadura, and the southwest of Salamanca, a province of the autonomous region of Castile-Leon.
The central and southern ones are spoken in Extremadura and in the provinces of Huelva and Seville, in the autonomous region of Andalusia, and are at least since the 18th century Castilian dialects.

 Extremaduran
Extremaduran (Extremeño, Ehtremeñu, Cahtuo) is an Ibero-Romance language of the Northern branch.
The linguistic atlas of Extremadura is being released in 2001.
Extremaduran texts are written in two orthographies, one Castilian-like, developed in the late 1890s by the famous poet Jose Maria Gabriel y Galan, and the other one is of more recent origin and is more phonetic.

Me and some other members of the extremaduran APLEx society (www.aplexextremadura.com) are interested in creating a wikipedia in both regional languages, to promote the use of them.
The extremaduran is recognized neither in the A.C. of Extremadura nor in the A.C. of Castile and Leon, partly because of its similarity with the castilian dialect with the same name (see the wikipedia: extremaduran language, for more information), and partly because it is so endangered that only the oldest men speak it still.
But there is a great advantage of creating the wikipedia in extremaduran: almost every extremaduran can understand to a good degree the language, even if they already speak the castilian dialect, so having probably more than 1.500.000 million people able (and possibly willing) to write and read it.

The oak, cork oak, olive tree, wheat, barley, vine or vast irrigation lands shape the typical landscape of the Extremaduran meadow, where animals pasture and plenty of birds and birds of prey live in total freedom.
Extremaduran people have taken well care of these vast lands, green almost all through the year and golden in summer, and the land has given back generously such cares in the form of crops and pastures for cattle.
Extremaduran Iberian pig lives and grows among hills and mountains, in meadows full of holm-oak woods, in a perfect symbiosis with its habitat, another example of survival of a race that, man-breeded gives one of the most tempting foods in the world: cured ham.

Amid much grumbling, the Castilian and Extremaduran towns gathered at Toledo in the spring of 1279 responded to his plea for additional aid, but it was still insufficient to allow him to terminate the siege successfully.
