@calmetosis E o conhecido Portunhol falado nas fronteiras do Brasil com outros paises d America do Sul. Lol! Parece muito com o portugues falado no Brasil especialmente com o sotaque do sul.
What are you talking about portugese? This was 90% I understood just about everything he said, (talked about how the Galician culture was small and having problems to integrate in globalization ect...) and I don't know portugese, just Spanish.
@kevinmartinez723 Actually the portuguese language has its origins in the Galician language (Galego), it is much closer to portuguese than to Spanish. If you got no problem understanding him, you will not have problem understanding someone speaking portuguese.
@kevinmartinez723 Because it's very close to portuguese. Spanish and portuguese in writing are similar, the trouble is in the speaking. There's a funny thing that happens here, portuguese people get spanish easily, we understand them well, but spanish people don't understand us, mainly because we have a very closed accent, so to speak. But with galicians, we understand each other well, the accent is closer. :)
@Medes14 No. You're insultingly ignorant and very arrogant. Regardless of the Spanish influence, the differences between Galician and Portuguese are mainly morphological (conjugations, suffixes, prefixes, object pronouns, subject pronouns) also phonological (diphthongs, triphthongs, vowels, consonantal groups), as well as sintactic, lexical and semantical LOL
@Medes14 Galicians don't have a "Spanish accent". Galicians have a Galician accent. Every Spaniard can identify the Galician accent, which is very strong and wavy.
You just don't know Galician (and perhaps don't know Portuguese either) and are judging it by the four or five words you've heard here. It's close to Portuguese like Croatian is close to Serbian, but they're different.
@Medes14 Even in this video you can hear some distinctive words, conjugations, suffixes, pronouns and phological features. I'll tell ya: eu nacín = eu nasci corenta e catro = quarenta e quatro. fago ciencia = faço ciência. moitas = muitas. proxección = projeção ademais = aliás vantaxe = vantagem se cadra = se calhar estar vencellada = estar relacionada vencello = relação meirande = maior dicir = dizer teñen = têm loitar = lutar It's clearly distinguishable as Galician ._.
@Medes14 I see you don't care about anything ¬¬' Differences are there and are obvious! So, it's not "Portuguese". It never was actually. Modern Portuguese today exists thanks to the independence of Portugal, because otherwise Portuguese would be GALICIAN today. You got owned.
@SpanishHunkyGuy err... saying that is like saying that if Galicia wasn't independent, galician would be spanish today. Oops. If Portugal had lost it's independence, we would most likely still speak portuguese, man, just like Galicia has galician and Cataluña has catalan etc etc.
@seleniaactimel No, coz Portugal would have never existed as a state or as a territory. It would be a Galician province. That language would have never been given the name of "Portuguese".
@SpanishHunkyGuy We were a territory before being a kindgom, a 'condado'. Not sure of the english word for it. Mirandês is a language and yet Miranda do Corvo was never a territory, let alone a kingdom. Cataluña itself wasn't a kingdom according to wiki and aranese is also from a not-kingdom/territory. So it's likely we'd still have portuguese, spoken from the Portucale region.
@seleniaactimel Chamaríase "galego de Portugal", máis ben. Logo viredes os portugueses falarnos do "português da Galiza", que é unha aberración histórica e un insulto para a identidade galega. Gústavos que lle chamemos á vosa lingua o "galego de Portugal"? É historicamente máis axeitado.
Xa sei que Cataluña nunca foi un reino. O catalán é occitano puro e duro. É un invento autonómico, coma o portugués.
@SpanishHunkyGuy I'm sorry some people call it that, I don't call galego that (most of us don't), I agree with you that it's insulting, so that comment is neither here nor there. However you insisting my language would never have existed when I gave you many many examples of languages that do exist without the isolation of a country or region is beginning to sound condescending. Now I feel as if I'm defending the right of my language to exist and I'm not comfortable with that :/
@seleniaactimel Your language would have never been called "Portuguese". It was called Galician back in the 12th century and when the language became the language of Portugal, its name was changed to "Portuguese". You stole our language and our idenitity! And now you come and say: "Galician is Portuguese"!
The Greeks don't allow the FYROM of Macedonia to be presented, not even in NATO, as "Macedonia", coz Macedonia is a Greek region. It's a question of identity, and I'm PROUDLY a Galician.
@SpanishHunkyGuy D: D: but where did I say any of that?! Dear god I went from wtf to actually hurt. I think the best of Galicians, never had issues with you, never even heard anyone talk about stealing anything from anyone and I NEVER said anything of the sort. WTF?! Are you lashing out at me for something someone said to you? Why are you talking to me like that? D:
@seleniaactimel You think the best of Galicians, but the institutions of your country disrespect or look down on the identity of Galicians, and many Galicians feel hurt for that.
You've created a myth around Lusitanians, "Lusofonía", a term that any proud Galician will never accept.
@SpanishHunkyGuy I don't know what the heck is going on but no one I know, nor anything I've seen on tv supports that idea. I'm really sad if anything our institutions are doing passes that message. But then again, I don't like Spain's common day use of the term Iberian, as if we're not here and yet you won't see me going off at a random spanish guy. For all it's worth I'm sorry that I made you feel that way, over something I thought was harmless. Happy holidays.
@SpanishHunkyGuy Ok so I did some google-fu to understand just what your anger was about. Could it be about the Reintegration debate? The faction of galician and portuguese who think galego should belong to "lusofonia"? If so, then rest assured, not only is that a wtf idea, no one here, and I do mean no one apart from half a dozen peacocks, think that. I didn't even know there was such a movement and I doubt a survey on the street would find anyone aware of it.
@seleniaactimel Exactly. Try to keep those arseholes under control and also those fascists who believe they're in XVI century Portugal and can invade countries, or even nations, such as Galicia, coz they are mentally disabled. The final goal is to make us disappear eventually from the map.
Galician and Portuguese aren't today the same language. If they still were, Portuguese is Galician, never the other way round. Neither we share the same identity, coz we haven't had the same history.
@SpanishHunkyGuy That movement is completely irrelevant here. Completely. I can't stress that enough. No one knows of it, so please don't think a few stupid people represent the whole nation. We fought hard for our identity, we would never begrudge you yours. Never. The notion of reintegrationism is absurd. Galician is most likely closer to galician-portuguese than modern portuguese. It'd be more correct saying portuguese is a galician language than saying galego is lusophone.
@SpanishHunkyGuy I am married to an Azorean and have studied both Portuguese and Spanish language and history. I have traveled all over Portugal and Spain, including Galicia. Allow me to present this opinion: Portugal and Spain are different in many ways. Galego is NOT Portuguese, nor a dialect thereof. And conversely: Portuguese is NOT Spanish, nor is it a dialect of Spanish. This is an example of Divergent Evolution. Can we agree that both nations are, and should remain, sovereign?
Galicia es la cuna del Portugués, no al revés. Hispania Romana era toda la peninsula ibérica. En la Reconquista de Hispania, el pueblo Galego fue reconquistando territorios a los moros, y parte de esos territorios conquistados se independizaron o mejor dicho no se unieron con los Reinos Españoles (Castilla y Aragón), como si hizo Galicia. Formando su propio Reino y posterior país. En verdad los Ibéricos somos todos hermanos. Saludos.
Realmente é muito parecido com o português falado no Brasil... melódico e doce.
