Â Euromosaic - Galician (Gallego) in Spain

Thereafter, Galician was to become the means of communication of a rural society while Portuguese was standardized on the basis of the Lisbon dialect and became the language of the royal court, and the divergences between the two were to grow ever more marked.
According to the 1991 census, 2,421,102 persons above the age of three could speak Galician (91% of the total), while 1,322,937 people could read it (50%) and 923,441 were able to write it (35% of the total, and 73% of young people aged 11 to 14).

Â Galego

Perhaps as a consequence, there are only a handful of Portuguese that speak Galician.
The only contact most Portuguese have have with the language is through the Autonomous Region of Galicia's television station called TV Galegaâ€”but usually only in border regions like Chavesâ€”and periodical shopping trips to the small towns on the other side of the border where Galicianis still spoken.
This idea only conforms his own prejudice that Galicia is a region of Spain where people speak something, which could be Portuguese-Spanish or MirandÃªs.

Â LINGUIST List 6.983: Linguistic separatism

That is, there are Galician separatists or nationalists who are reintegrationists and use the Portuguese orthography, and then there are other separatists and nationalists who are very happy with the institutionally-supported view of Galician as a "separate language" to be written, however, with a Spanish-based orthography.
In the meantime, Galician Portuguese is being learned less and less as a first language.
On the contrary, Galician separatists (and federalists) have been killed by the Spanish army and police (during Franco's uprising and regime).

Â Revived: Galician and Portuguese, the same language? Antimoon Forum

Unfortunately, I have no time to translate this text written in official Galician by Camilo Nogueira, a Galician himself, but it could be a start to argue the re-integration of Galician in the Galician-Portuguese-Brazilian language.
Therefore, a Galician agrees with what I previously said how "rural" or "popular" Galician can often sound much more Portuguese to the untrained ear than Galician.
Nogueira defends the fact that Galician has always been the same language as Portuguese and that the phonology of the RÃas Baixas (Galician Coast nearer to Northern Portugal) is actually nearer Portuguese than the official Galician norm of the Xunta.

In the second half of the 14th century, after producing a splendid body of literature, the language split into Galician and Portuguese, for historical and political reasons.
Today nearly two million people speak Galician, although due to its similarity to Castilian and the multiple interferences derived from a practically universal bilingualism; therefore it is very difficult to make an exact calculation.
To this figure we must add the Galician communities living in Latin American countries that use it.

The motivation for such a principle may be due to reasons of positional faithfulness (see Beckman 1997).
