Is Galician Portuguese?

in Brazil we say Galícia and not Galiza, all immigrants from Galícia consider themselves Spanish and not Portuguese. Here in Salvador we have o Hospital Espanhol run by Galicians/Spanish.

One huge difference with Cataluña is that here there is a big class divide. I’m sure you know this and maybe it grates with you. But it is a fact and can’t be ignored. Rightly or wrongly, the middle class here regard Gallego as a peasant language and are not going to learn/use it however much they are leant on to do so. Trying to force them to do so is every bit as fascistic as repressing Gallego under Franco. This is not to say that Gallego shouldn’t be promoted, merely that there is a sensible limit to this in the face of local realities. And equities.
