Los vocables asturians De Antonio de Bastero y su probable informante, el cardenal Cienfuegos

Los Vocables asturians reunidos por Antoni de Bastero unen, a su valor de primer léxico asturiano, el de mostrar rasgos fonéticos de tipo occidental, como el resultado [͡ts] para el lat. -ct- (presente en las zonas B, incluido parcialmente el concejo de Miranda, y aisladamente D), que permitirían aventurar el origen de su informante. La vinculación de Bastero con la resistencia austracista, exiliada en Roma, hace verosímil que llegase a conocer al que desde 1722 actuaba como Embajador Plenipotenciario del Emperador, el Cardenal Cienfuegos (nacido en Agüerina, concejo de Miranda), muy ligado a los intereses austriacos en España a través del Almirante de Castilla. Hay además constancia de que entre Bastero y Cienfuegos hubo amigos comunes como Mario Crescimbeni, quien, como cofundador de la Accademia Arcadia, pudo favorecer su nombramiento como arcades. Bastero pudo recibir este léxico asturiano de su informante entre 1722 y 1724, periodo en que ambos frecuentan dicha institución.The Vocables asturians (Asturian wordlists) compiled by Antoni de Bastero was not only the first Asturian vocabulary, but also a source of western phonetic features, like [͡ts] as a reflex of Latin -ct- (found in zone B, including part of the municipality of Miranda, and in isolation in zone D), which enable us to hazard a guess as to the origins of the informant. Bastero's connection with the Austrian resistence, in exile in Rome, makes it plausible that he got to know the Emperor's special ambassador, Cardinal Cienfuegos (born in Angüerina in the municipality of Miranda), who was closely associated with Austrian interests in Spain through the Admiral of Castile. There is also evidence that Bastero and Cienfuegos had friends in common, like Mario Crescimbeni, who, as cofounder of the Accademia Arcadia, would have been able to assist in their nomination as arcades (academy members). Bastero may have received this Asturian vocabulary from his informant between 1722 and 1724, when they frequented the academy
