Romance languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gallo-Romance group, which became the Oïl languages (including French), Occitan, Francoprovençal and Rumansh, and an Iberian Romance group which became Spanish and Portuguese.

Galician Language Introductory Page Galician is a Romance Language, that belongs to the Iberianromance family of languages.

Galician Portuguese Officially, however, Portuguese and Galician are separate languages even though they share some common historical and linguistic characteristics. The separation of Galician and Portuguese (which began with Portugal's independence in 1185) intensified after the Moors were completely expelled from Portugal in 1249 and the Castilians (who had attempted to conquer Portugal) were defeated in 1385. Today, some linguists justify the linguistic unity of Galician and Portuguese because both modern Galician and Portuguese share the same historical linguistic branch albeit with different written norms (such as the differences one finds between British and American English or European and Brazilian Portuguese). www.deltatranslator.com /delta/port_galician.htm

The Portuguese Language The separation between the Galician and Portuguese languages, which began with Portugal's independence in 1185, was consolidated after the Moors were expelled in 1249, and also by the defeat in 1385 of the Castilians, who sought unsuccessfully to conquer Portugal. Portuguese ranks eighth among the most spoken languages in the world (third among the western languages, after English and Castilian) and is the official language of seven countries: Angola (10.3 million inhabitants), Brazil (151 million), Cabo Verde (346,000), Guinea-Bissau (1 million), Mozambique (15.3 million), Portugal (9.9 million), and São Tomé and Príncipe islands (126,000).
