Navarrese is an Ibero-Romance dialect which is spoken in a transitional area between Castilian and Aragonese.[1] [2] Navarrese was originally referred as its own language, however, the obscure dialect was merged into Castilian at the beginning of the 16th century.[3]
Navarrese is known to retain traits from Navarro-Aragonese.
