Galicians (Vanity)

Posted on 06/03/2006 3:55:57 PM PDT by Ptarmigan

In the land of Spain in the Iberian Peninsula, there are groups of people who speak a language similar to Portguese called the Galicians. Galicians live in northwestern part of Spain, known as the "land of the 1000 rivers". It is one of Spain's official language besides Spanish and are refered as Gallegos. Galcians have migrated to other parts of Spain and Latin America. Galicians have their own autonomous region in Spain, like the Basque people. Galicians originally were Celtic people who migrated from the Pyrenees Mountain. The tribe called Galleci was established in northwestern part of Spain. Then around 137 BC, Romans conquered that area. The Romans spreaded their language in that area. Galcians is influenced by Celtic, Germanic, and Romance language. Galicians can trace their ancestry from Celtic people as a result. Galicians enjoyed autonomy from Hispanic Spain until it fell under them in 1495. Three was a movement in 1936 for an autonomous region, but was nullified by Francisco Franco. Famous Galicians are Francisco Franco and Fidel Castro.

Not to be confused with Gallatians, a celtic tribe that emigrated from Central Europe to Anatolia (today, it's Turkey) for prime farmland. Made famous for the letter they received from St. Paul. Sadly, they are now either Muslims converted by the sword or their bloodline is dead.
