  Sobrarbe | English | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
Sobrarbe is one of the comarcas (counties) in the northern part of the province of Huesca, part of the autonomous community of Aragon in Spain.
Sobrarbe was one of the Christian principalities of the Hispanic March in northernmost Hispania, with an obscure history that was liberally mixed with legend in the time of Eneko Aritza, who counted Sobrarbe as one of his possessions.
It became part of the County of Aragon, and was absorbed into Ribagorza in the 10th century through marriage to an heiress.

 Aragonese language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original kingdom of Aragon (formed by the counties of Aragon, Sobrarbe and Ribagorza) was progressively expanded from the mountain ranges towards the South, pushing the Moors further South in the Reconquista and spreading the Aragonese language.
The annexation of the Catalan Counties by the Aragonese Crown meant that these territories were linguistically heterogeneous, with Catalan spoken in the eastern region, and Aragonese in the west.
Nowadays, Aragonese is still spoken natively within its core area, the Aragonese mountain ranges of the Pyrenees, in the comarcas of Somontano, Sobrarbe, and Ribagorza.
