Cantabrian is a group of dialects belonging to Astur-Leonese. It is indigenous to the territories in and surrounding the Autonomous Community of Cantabria, in Northern Spain. Traditionally, some dialects of this group have been further grouped by the name Montañés (that is, ''from the Mountain''), being "La Montaña" (''the Mountain'') a traditional name for Cantabria due to its mountainous orography. == Distribution == These dialects belong to the Northwestern Iberian dialect continuum, and have been classified as belonging to the Astur-Leonese domain by successive research works carried out through the 20th century, the first of them, the famous work ''El dialecto Leonés'', by Menéndez Pidal. This dialect group spans the whole territory of Cantabria. In addition, there is historical evidence of traits (such as toponyms, or certain constructions) linking the speech of some nearby areas to the Cantabrian Astur-Leonese group: * The western part of Las Encartaciones, in Biscay. * Bordering areas with Burgos: especially the upper valleys of Espinosa de los Monteros, where Pasiegu dialect was spoken. * Bordering areas with Palencia * Valleys of Peñamellera and Ribadedeva, in the westernmost part of Asturias. Some of this areas had historically been linked to Cantabria before the 1833 territorial division of Spain, and the creation of the Province of Santander (with the same territory as modern-day's Autonomous Community). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cantabrian dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
