Description

Pedralba de la Pradería is located in the northwest of the Province of Zamora and belongs to the shire of Sanabria. Pedralba de la Praderia is rich in linguistic diversity, because three different Romance languages are spoken there: Spanish, Galician and Leonese. Spanish is spoken by all the inhabitants of the municipality, instead Galician is only spoken in the village of Calabor and Leonese in the rest of villages. Both Galician and Leonese are spoken in their Sanabrian local varieties, so both look very similar and share much vocabulary.
