Description:		Conversation between Vera Ferreira and Carlos Amoroso about his summer holidays, family, return to work, and Minderico.
		Priv.-Doz. Dr. Annette Endruschat is funded to specialize in documentary linguistics by documenting the language and culture of the town of Minde, in the centre of Portugal with a population of 3380. Minderico is only spoken in Minde and not in any of the adjacent villages. It has to be regarded as highly endangered, because the number of (active) speakers of Minderico has decreased considerably to only a few hundred in the last three decades. In the recent past Minderico has become more and more restricted to the use in informal situations and Portuguese has developed into the main language of communication throughout the Minde region. There are also a few passive speakers who are able to understand Minderico but who do not use it actively anymore. With this project, it is intended to emphasize that there are also unknown endangered languages in Europe and that the Iberian region is not as homogeneous as the language policy of Portugal would like us to believe. Moreover, this project expects to give an impulse to the documentation of the linguistic and cultural richness in the Romance world, an area widely neglected in Romance studies. That is why this project is based on an intensive cooperation between Romance linguistics and general linguistics and typology.
		Involvement: semi-elicited; Conversation between Vera Ferreira and Carlos Amoroso about his summer holidays, family, return to work, and Minderico.
		Place of Birth: Entroncamento Occupation: Policeman (he worked at the police station PSP in Entroncamento) Carlos Amoroso learnt Minderico as a second language at the age of 16. Today he has mother tongue competence in Minderico, speaking it fluently. He lives in Entroncamento (a small town approximately 20 km away from Minde) but he spends most of his time in Minde with the Mindericos. He is seen by the Mindericos as a member of the community. He is fully committed to the preservation and revitalization of Minderico, participating in every social event, teaching Minderico with the help of Vera Ferreira at the CAOG (Centro de Artes e Ofícios Roque Gameiro, Minde) and writing frequently in Minderico to Jornal de Minde.
