This language is very similar to Leonese language and Asturian or Bable, spoken in other territories that once made up the Kingdom of León. Is called artu estremeñu (High extremaduran) too. The Central and Low Extremaduran (Meyu estremeñu and Bahu estremeñu) are Spanish dialects with extremaduran influences.
