| | LINGUIST List 6.1465: Language/Dialect |
 | | One of the leading Galizan dialectologists, Francisco Fernandez Rei, a member of the Galician Language Institute (Instituto da Lingua Galega) from the University of Santiago de Compostela, states explicitly the question: "Dans une perspective strictement linguistique, nous pouvons admettre que le galicien et le portugais parle's aujourd'hui constituent pratiquement une seule et me^me langue _abstand_. |
 | | Nowadays a widespread view is that Galizan is a 'social language', that is, that is is not merely an underprivileged, corrupt social dialect of Spanish. |
 | | Galizan, therefore, deserves to have a place in public, educational, cultural, religious, and official life. |
