From: "Krzysztof P. Jasiutowicz" <kpj-zE2mUH9TyAc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Funny, we do have a historical land called Galicja but I've never heard > people there speak some distinct dialect. Never heard about Gallician > either. Hi Krzysztof, Thanks, I appreciate your message about Galicja, the region in North West Spain is called Galicia, and the language is gallego or galego. In English I've seen it spelled Gallician, but I think the proper thing would be to call it "galego" as this is the way speakers of the language make reference to it.(Galego is very similar to Portuguese with which it shares a developmental and historical connection.) I guess pretty much everywhere there's been ancient celtic populations there's a name that is related, for example Celt, Kelt, Welsh, Gallic, Galego, Waloon (sp?). Again thanks, Jay B. |
