Galician - galego


In the Middle Ages the Old Galician language, which was spoken in the north western corner of the Iberian Peninsula, developed into Modern Galician and Portuguese. When the Arabic- and Berber-speaking Moors were driven out of Iberia, the Portuguese language moved south. It wasn't until about 1600 that Castilian Spanish began to seriously compete with Galician in Galicia.
