Barranquenho (Barranquenhu; English: Barranquian[1]), is a Romance linguistic variety spoken in the Portuguese town of Barrancos, near the Spanish border. It can be considered a variety of Portuguese heavily influenced by the Spanish dialects of neighbouring areas in Extremadura and Andalusia (Encinasola)[2], or a Spanish dialect heavily influenced by Portuguese. The development of this mixed language seems to be relatively recent (one or two centuries), unlike other minority linguistic varieties in the Iberian Peninsula which have medieval roots.
