83.61.108.158, I acept your changes at the moment because I don´t want to begin a war of editions during the development of the article. But I would thank you to login in next time, and begin a discussion before make debatable changes.Uhanu 05:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Dialect not language
Most authors speak of Cantabrian as an Astur-Leones dialect. There is not a single verifiable and reliable source in the article validating the denomination "language". It is not even accepted as such by Ethnologue (that even consider Extremadurian fablas a language, though linguistically closer to A-L). Unless this can be verified soon, I will move this page to Cantabrian dialect from its current location and rewrite the intro accordingly. The current title is POV.

Seconded. The Spanish page is an absolute disaster. It could perhaps be moved to a combined A-L page.

P.S Do you sometimes play that game where you show the other Asterion round the Labyrinth? bns —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boynamedsue (talk • contribs) 22:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Compared to Castilian
There is a line "...and especially to the variety most distinct from standard Castilian." Is it accurate to refer to Castilian as standard? RJFJR (talk) 22:26, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Cantabrian dialect → Cantabrian language – Harmonization with other Astur-Leonese languages (Asturian language, Mirandese language, Extremaduran language). – Article editor (talk) 22:02, 8 September 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 13:08, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * And the existing Cantabrian language to Cantabrian language (disambiguation). This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:28, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose In which linguistic source is this considered a "language"? AFAIK Cantabrian is considered a transitional dialect between Asturian and Castilian. — kwami (talk) 04:50, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment As I already said in Talk:Leonese_dialect, the difference between language and dialect is irrelevant in modern linguistics. It's also worth mentioning that in a language continuum, all dialects are transitional dialects.

Spanish or Leonese?
Obviously there is no single correct answer, as it always happens with language classification in areas of dialect continuum. I can't accept any wording stating this classification is right, and all the other are wrong. --Jotamar (talk) 15:56, 12 May 2017 (UTC)


 * "Current dialectology regards Cantabrian as a dialect of Spanish. Nevertheless, it is not surprising that Cantabrian Spanish, historically linked to the Astur‐Leonese dominion, possesses certain features that Castilian Spanish never inherited or were lost early in its formation process. The old Leonese intonation survives in certain areas of the Kingdom of León that were hispanicized at an early date. This situation results in a continuum extending across the north‐ western Iberian Peninsula with blurred interdialectal boundaries where a variety of intonation patterns can be found".
