Galician (Galego)
Region: Galicia and adjacent areas in Asturias and Castile and León
Ethnicity: Galician
Native speakers: 2.4 million (2012) / 58% of the population of Galicia (c. 1.56 million) are L1 speakers (2007)
Language family: Indo-European (Romance)
is an Indo-European language of the Western Ibero-Romance branch. It is spoken by some 2.4 million people, mainly in Galicia, an autonomous community located in northwestern Spain, where it is co-official with Spanish. The language is also spoken in some border zones of the neighboring Spanish regions of Asturias and Castile and León, as well as by Galician migrant communities in the rest of Spain, in Latin America including Puerto Rico, the United States, Switzerland and elsewhere in Europe.
Modern Galician is part of the West Iberian languages group, a family of Romance languages that includes the Portuguese language, which developed locally from Vulgar Latin and evolved into what modern scholars have called Galician-Portuguese. Dialectal divergences are observable between the northern and southern forms of Galician-Portuguese in 13th-century texts but the two dialects were similar enough to maintain a high level of cultural unity until the middle of the 14th century, producing the medieval Galician-Portuguese lyric. The divergence has continued to this day, producing the modern languages of Galician and Portuguese.
Galician has two different spelling conventions, similar to Norwegian (Bokmål / Nynorsk):
1. One of them is based on the norms of the Galician Royal Academy (RAG), which use the same orthography as Castilian Spanish, and accept some words that some consider to be of Castilian influence. These norms are used by the Galician public institutions, and they are taught in schools. The norms also consider Galician a closely related, but separate language from Portuguese. The video you already have in your channel follows this spelling convention.
2. Another one based on the spelling of medieval Galician-Portuguese, as well as modern Portuguese, usually known as "reintegrationist". These norms consider Galician a variety of the (Galician-)Portuguese language, along with European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. They were made by several linguists at the Galician Language Association (AGAL) back in the 1980s as an opposition / critic of the RAG norms, and they are used by many language activists and cultural associations in Galicia.
