 West Iberian languages

West Iberian is a branch of the Ibero-Romance languages that includes the Castilian languages (Spanish, Judaeo-Spanish, Extremaduran and Loreto-Ucayali), Astur-Leonese (Asturian, Leonese, Mirandese and Cantabrian), and the descendants of Galician-Portuguese (Portuguese, Galician, Eonavian, Fala and Judaeo-Portuguese).Until a few centuries ago, they formed a dialect continuum covering the western, central and southern parts of the Iberian Peninsula—excepting the Basque and Catalan-speaking territories.
