Ribagorçan (autonym: ribagorsano, IPA: [riβaɣoɾˈsano] or ribagorzano, IPA: [riβaɣoɾˈθano]; Aragonese: ribagorzano, IPA: [riβaɣoɾˈθano]; Standard Catalan: ribagorçà, IPA: [riβəɣurˈsa]) is a number of Romance dialects spoken in the modern territories of the medieval County of Ribagorza, in northern Spain.
The area corresponds to the modern administrative units of Ribagorza and La Litera/Llitera, in the province of Huesca, Aragon, and Alta Ribagorça in the province of Lleida, Catalonia. Today, depending on provincial and regional perspectives, Ribagorçan may be described in Aragon as transitional to Catalan, or in Catalonia as transitional to Aragonese. Eastern dialects in the area tend to be classified as Catalan, and western dialects as Aragonese, with a small central area of more difficult classification.
