[Resumen extraído de la fuente original]

Mirandese was legally recognized as a language during que late 1990's by the Parliment of the Portuguese Republic under Nacional Law 7/99 following the recent trend in Europe especially in Speain to view "rural linguistic minorities" as "communties who use a regional language". However compared with its neighbouring languages the Mirandese language has certain unique characteristics such as the process of its establishment and its typological feutures. 

In this papel I will analyse these peculiarities in the following order: 

- Geographical situation

- Phonological features

- Morphological features

-Lexicological features

- Originality in the process of establishment as a language

In addition to the above mentioned characteristics of Mirandese the paper will also consider which linguistic features could be learned from the experience of Mirandese for the protection and promotion of endangered languages.
