Well my first email (without the link) said that :)
I haven't yet started on the other pages, but will soon. I just
needed Montreiano to have a web presence.

It's not a mixture, it's a sister language that has many parallel
developments with both Portuguese and Spanish, but mostly its own. It
didn't have much extremaduran influence, just a few words (although i cant
seem to find an extremaduran dictionary online, so i shall say that
Montreiano didn't absorb many words, and what words they did use dropped
out of favor :))

Thank you very much. I much rather like your language. It's very
attractive in appearance (written) to me.
