The Castilian languages are Castilian (Spanish) and its closest relatives. Besides derivatives of Spanish such as Judaeo-Spanish and Amazonic Spanish, this refers principally to Extremaduran, a partially mutually intelligible language that is often considered merely a peculiar dialect by other speakers of Spanish.
Notes[]
- ^ Extremaduran is sometimes considered an Astur-Leonese dialect.
