I'm an Asturian and to me Spanish sounds like a mixture of Berber and Portuguese. Asturian along with Catalan, Galician and Occitan are Neo-latin languages.

Asturian is a dialect of Spanish .

Asturian is a language, not a dialect. Spanish is partially derived from old Arabic and partially from vulgar Latin.

It's simply vulgar Spanish spoken by elderly people. It contains words like "asin" which are used in other parts of Spain by uneducated folks from small towns.

For not Asturian Asin = Burro or Asno.

Spanish is a language spoke by "Arabs wannabe Italian/French".

Hahaha, then that means Asturian is a dialect spoken by asins. Now seriously, asin means "así " in standard Spanish ( = so in English) but curiously asin is used by uneducated people in other parts of Spain as well. Also Asturian uses a some contractions like "pal" (= "para el " in Standard Spanish) which you can hear to uneducated speakers of Spanish in Andalusia too.

Nice try, froggy troll! You are not Catalan or Asturian. You are a disgusting Frog. You are very angry because Spanish language is stronger than French at this moment.

A lot of you hate English language (USA and UK) and now you hate Spanish language (and Spanish speakers).

You have a very big mental problem. In the near future your language will be less important than Chinese, Arabic, Russian, German, Portuguese and Hindi. You will need to hate half of the World. That is very tired!!!

So, don't worry, study languages and be happy!!!
