Abstract
Up to the 15th century, Aragonese and Catalan were commonly used languages in both royal and notarial documents in the Crown of Aragon. From then on, the use of Castilian by the Aragonese administration increased, although the resistance of the native Aragonese languages to their Castilian substitution is reflected in documents from the time. A good example of that can be seen in the 1472-1489 ledger of the Council of Mirambel (Teruel). In this study, we undertake a linguistic analysis on the ledger to demonstrate the coexistence of the languages that were still in use at the end of the 15th century.Downloads
