99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My name is Víctor, I'm from Oviedo,
I speak Asturian,

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which is a minoritized language
in the north of Spain.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Asturian is currently
in a situation...

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in which it is not an official language,
and there are many people

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who are working for it
to be official in the future.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As I've said, Asturian
is not an official language,

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's only recognized
in article 4

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of our Statute of Autonomy,
where its protection is recognized.

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Later, in 1998,
a law was passed, which is known as

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'Law of use and promotion
of Bable/Asturian',

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
which regulates a bit more
the use of our language

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and guarantees, in some way,
its presence in education

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and in the media,
for example.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is an insufficient law,
although it has been useful

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for [Asturian] to enter in the education system,
and there are more and more students

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who choose it as a subjetc.
But we do find

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
