Mirandese

Mirandese
a) A native or inhabitant of northeastern Portugal; a person who speaks Mirandese.

Toward evening a Mirandese came in: he was a man of about fifty, a politician, bright and talkative, and so I left the carabineros to join him.

b) An endangered Romance language spoken in northeastern Portugal.

My example is taken from the Portuguese dialect of Mirandese, more specifically Mirandese as spoken in the area of Sendim
