	Galician people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Galician nationalism, which appeared as early as the 1840s, recalled a mythical "Golden Age" when the medieval kingdom of Galicia had existed.
		The emergence of Galician nationalism in the 1840s was principally a literary and cultural phenomenon; its economic and political strength had been sapped by the continuation of its traditional, rural, even anti-industrial social structure.
		Galician nationalists were sharply critical of what they termed the "so-called bilingualism policy," because they believed that Galician, unless it were given privileged status vis à vis Castilian, would eventually be overwhelmed by the more popular and more dominant official language.

		The final episode of Galician independence, up to today, was the dynastic conflict between Isabella of Castile and Xoana, called "a beltranexa" ("Daugther of Beltrán", and not to be confused with Juana the Crazy (Juana of Castille)).
		Galician nationalist and federalist movements arose in the nineteenth century, and after the second Spanish Republic was declared in 1931, Galicia became an autonomous region following a referendum.
		The Galician and Portuguese languages are derived from the early Galician-Portuguese (Galego-Português) language, and are still considered by some to be two dialects of the same Galician-Portuguese language.

		Catalan, Galician, Aranese (Occitan) and Castilian are all descended from Latin and some of them have their own dialects, some championed as separate languages by their speakers.

		The opposite is the case of a large part of Catalans, Basques and, in some measure, Galicians, who quite frequently identify, respectively, primarily with Catalonia, the Basque Country, and Galicia first, with Spain only second, or even third after Europe.

		The descendants of these numerous immigrants plus the Galician migrants who still live in Argentine continue to form one of the most progressive communities in the country, greatly interested in maintaining their cultural identity, in which music plays a very important role.

		The win on the outskirts of Madrid gave the Galician side their 27th point of the season from away games, as opposed to a measly sixteen at home.
		There's a classic sort of situation loosely related to this phenomenon, where during a season in which no side runs away with the league, the eventual victors are the side who win most of their games at fortress home, grinding out enough away wins and draws to take the title.
		The Galicians have not been grinding out a series of 0-1 wins, which suggests that they are capable of attacking play.

		Some of the Galicians say he will make them all pay some day, but Jack just laughs at this and says they are a suspicious lot of fools.
