My name is Víctor, I'm from Oviedo,[br]I speak Asturian,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which is a minoritized language[br]in the north of Spain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Asturian is currently[br]in a situation...

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in which it is not an official language,[br]and there are many people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who are working for it[br]to be official in the future.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
As I've said, Asturian[br]is not an official language,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's only recognized[br]in article 4

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of our Statute of Autonomy,[br]where its protection is recognized.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Later, in 1998,[br]a law was passed, which is known as

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
'Law of use and promotion[br]of Bable/Asturian',

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which regulates a bit more[br]the use of our language

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and guarantees, in some way,[br]its presence in education

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and in the media,[br]for example.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is an insufficient law,[br]although it has been useful

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for [Asturian] to enter in the education system,[br]and there are more and more students

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who choose it as a subjetc.[br]But we do find
