GUEST,sorefingers:
Does Galician sound like Cornish ?
I have never heard Cornish, but Galician belongs to a Romanic group like French and Italian, while Cornish belongs to a P-Celt group such as Welsh and Breton.
My impression is that Galician is closer to Portuguese than to Spanish.
Anyway, the Cetic language has already gone and there are few Celtic words in Galicia, except some names of place such as Lugo, Castrobe, Ogrobe and Xagobe.
