	There is a Mirandes webpage.
	I don't have the url but I believe it is linked to the local
government or chamber of commerce page for the town of Miranda.
	I found it by typing in <<mirandes>> on Altavista.
	It doesn't have too much information but the authors may be able to
put you in touch with local scholars.
	The authors of the page essentially see the language as closer to
Leonese Spanish than Portuguese.
