Felechosa

Felechosa is a village in Asturias in Spain, in El Pino Parish of Aller Municipality. Its dialect of Asturian is different from many others of the region.

Language

Felechosa's dialect of the Asturian Language is known for distinguishing masculine singular nouns from mass nouns by raising the stressed vowel, with mid vowels becoming high and /a/ becoming /e/.[1] This extends to the adjective paradigm, with the word for "good" declining as [bwino] in the masculine singular rather than [bwenu] as in other dialects of Asturian.
