Oliventine Portuguese
Oliventine Portuguese (also known as Portuguese from Olivença) is the Portuguese dialects, dialectal variety of the Portuguese language natively spoken in the disputed municipalities of Olivenza, Olivença and Táliga, in Extremadura (Spain). Currently, the Portuguese of Olivença and Táliga is not recognized by Spain, which has administered this territory since the War of the Oranges in 1801. Portugal, however, does not recognize Spanish sovereignty over the region and claims it as its own. As a result of two centuries of Spanish administration and isolation from Portugal, Oliventine Portuguese is now a dying language; only a few elderly people still use it and young people no longer speak it. The dialect is no longer spoken in Táliga. Portuguese ceased to be the language of most of the population after the 1940s, a process accelerated by the Hispanicization policy implemented by Francoist Spain. Historical context Olivença and Táliga in the Kingdom of León The or ...
