 | | The Astures, the celtic peoples of the Asturian territories, were comprised of tribes such as the Luggones, the Pesicos, and others, who populated the entire area with castros (fortified hill-towns). |
 | | The Asturian language is also spoken, and is protected by Ley 1/1998, de 23 de marzo, de uso y promoción del bable/asturiano (’Law 1/1998, of March 23, of Use and Promotion of Bable/Asturian’). |
 | | Whether Eonavian is a dialect continuum or a variety of Galician language, however, is a subject of debate, and its use in the Asturian Administration is minor compared to the use of the Asturian language. |
