Common Voice Spontaneous Speech 1.0 - Aragonese

Aragonés — Aragonese (an)

This datasheet is for version 1.0 of the the Mozilla Common Voice Spontaneous Speech dataset for Aragonese (an). The dataset contains 19 clips representing 1 hours of recorded speech (1 hours validated) from 1 speakers.

Language

Aragonese is a Romance language spoken in several dialects by about 8,000—12,000 people in the northern areas of Aragon, Spain, primarily in the counties of Chacetania, Alto Galligo, Sobrarbe and Ribagorza. The language vitality status is Endangered according to https://www.ethnologue.com/language/arg/. At the moment, Spanish influences the native speakers, which may cause code mixing in a spontaneous speech.

Writing system

In 2023, the Academia Aragonesa de la Lengua, a public institution created as language regulatory body, established the Orthography of Aragonese as the official spelling for the language. The spelling system is flexible enough to allow writing all Aragonese varieties. All the transcriptions have been done using the official orthography (using Spanish spelling when words of this language were intercalated in the speech).

Responses

There follows a randomly selected sample of transcribed responses from the corpus.

Como vivimos en un lugar chicorrón y no bi ha pescadería, lo pescau que mas se mincha ye la merluza conchelada. Fresco, lo que mas goyo nos fa ye la dorada, la lubina, y lo millor d'el mundo ye lo abadeixo salau.
Pa trobar-me millor, m'aganaría caminar más y estar menos andalosa, no meter la carga debant de los machos siempre.
En lo nuestro lugar las casas antis mas se feban de solo piedra, con parets muit recias d'hasta ochenta centimetros y tasament heban cimientos, asinas que... las parets yeran parets de carga... Los pisos s'aposentaban en buenas bigas trabes de madera, tamién lo tellau. Y las las tellas yeran de charco marrón, no yeran pizarra, yeran feitas de charco marrón y cocidas y lo monyo... pa sojetar-las s'apoyaba en las latas. Las latas yeran listonez finos que se clavaban d'una trabeta a l'atra. 
Tasament me refrío pero si lo i so, beber muita agua y tomar bel paracetamol.
L'orache en lo mío lugar habría que estar como l'orache de lo mont en lo Pirineu: muito frío y muita nieu en himbierno; primaveras, bien de agua, aire, y verdes; veranos de muito calor de manyanas y fresco cuando se caye lo sol, y frío de noches y de madrugada; y las santmigaladas, con muita airera... pero ixas estacions ya se'n son perdidas.
