context_page_description: Bragança District is a traditional political division of Portugal, in the northeast corner bordering on Spain, covering 7.4% of the nation's continental landmass. The capital of the district, Bragança, is 217 kilometres from Porto, the second largest town in Portugal, 107 kilometres from the Spanish town of Zamora and 169 kilometres from Salamanca, also in Spain. Bragança is administratively divided in twelve municipalities and 299 parishes located in the north-eastern part of Trás-os-Montes. As of the 2011 census, the total resident population was approximately 136,252. It is bordered by Spain in the north and northeast, Vila Real District in the west, Viseu District in the southwest and Guarda District in the south.
context_section_description: Leonese language was widely spoken in the territory, but today, there are few who speak the language (which is primarily concentrated in the communities near Rio de Onor, Guadramil and along the northeast to southeast frontier with Spain). Mirandese, a local variant, is commonly observed in the regions of the District, particularly around Miranda do Douro, and has resulted in its official recognition by the Portuguese Parliament.
