Francho Nagore Lain

Francho Nagore Laín (Zaragoza, 1951), is a philologist, professor at the University of Zaragoza and author in the Aragonese language. As a philologist he has dedicated himself to investigating the Aragonese language in modern times. Francho Nagore is vice president of the AIDLCM (Association Internationale pour la Défense des Langues et des Cultures Menacées). In 2005 he received the gold medal of Santa Isabel de Portugal from the Provincial Council of Zaragoza in recognition of his work for Aragon. He is also one of the founders of the Consello d'a Fabla Aragonesa, an association of a cultural nature, of which he has been president from 1978 to 2004. He also presided over the first congress for the normalization of Aragonese, organized by the Consello and other associations in 1987, in which spelling rules were agreed upon and approved that are intended to apply to all varieties of Aragonese, in addition to common Aragonese. This unification of dialects in a common standard is rejected by some philologists and some native speakers of the language as artificial and alien to linguistic reality, while others continue to use it and even honor their work in favor of the recovery of Aragonese. Francho Nagore wrote a thesis on a living language, panticuto (a dialect of the Aragonese language typical of Panticosa and the Tena Valley) in which he concluded that there was a different language from Castilian in Alto Aragón, Aragonese (or also called Altoaragonés), with great grammatical similarities between the different dialects that remain scattered in the Alto Aragonese territory. His doctoral thesis was on the "Chronicle of San Juan de la Peña" ( "Coronica de San Chuan d & # 39; a Peña" ), one of the main works in Aragonese of the fourteenth century, published in 2003.

He has published different studies on Aragonese (grammar, dialectology, sociolinguistics, medieval Aragonese, etc.); in 1977 he published the first Aragonese grammar; years later the books A bida, a obra y a fabla by Cleto Torrodellas (1981), El aragonés de Panticosa: Gramática (1986), Replega de testos en aragonés dialeutal de o siglo XX (1987), Fuens lesicograficas de l'Aragonés. Catalog of Aragonese Lesicographical Repertoires from the 17th Century to 1998 (1998), Linguistic Territories in Aragón (2001), or The Aragonese in the 14th Century (2003), among others.

His articles include: "L'aragonés charrato by a family from Orós Alto (Tierra de Biescas) in 1977: beautiful annotazions", "Bocablos aragoneses en &# 34;Through the Somontano Altoaragonés", by Salvador María de Ayerbe", "Dos aspeutos d'intrés en a onomástica d'Ibieca: os suffixos achiquidors y os results de Vallem", "The suffixes -ario, -dor, -ería, -ero, ista and -orio in artistic terms", "Note to attest to the use of the affirmative particle o<lat.
