The Riberan dialect, also known as Reviran, Arribenian, or Riberenian, is a dialect of the Leonese language spoken in the north-western region of La Ribera in the province of Salamanca, in the autonomous community of Castile and León.[1][2]

It is known for being extremely similar to the Sayaguese dialect of Zamora and the Mirandese language spoken in several Portuguese municipalities which include Miranda do Douro.[3]
