Students from Miranda do Douro began receiving a Mirandese textbook for language teaching. This is a moment described as "historic" by specialists in the teaching of the Mirandese language and culture.

According to the article, there are currently 565 students learning the Mirandese language across the country. The number indicates a growing interest in the minority language spoken in the northeastern region of Portugal.

Alfredo Cameirão, a figure associated with the movement for the valorization of Mirandese, stated that this is an old demand of the community. The creation of the textbook represents the fulfillment of a demand that had been made for years by defenders of the language.

Mirandese is a minority language officially recognized in Portugal, spoken mainly in the municipality of Miranda do Douro, in the district of Bragança.
