• Galician and Portuguese share a lot of similarities, in fact the degree of similarities are high enough for the languages to be mutually intelligible. Galician uses Spanish spelling conventions but this has not deterred a hot debate on the subject whether Galician and Portuguese are independent languages or they are simply different dialects of the same language.

• History has it that Galician and Portuguese were actually a single language referred to as Galician-Portuguese in medieval times. It was also called Medieval Galician or Old Portuguese and was spoken in the areas which were initially ruled over by the Kingdom of Galicia.

• Galician emerged independently as a standardized literary language in the 19th century due to a language and cultural revival movement in Galicia. It led to Galicia being granted autonomous status and the Galician language becoming the official language of the region.

• The variations of spoken Galician can be divided into three principle dialects based upon various regions. These are Eastern Galician, Central Galician and Western Galician.
