I can't get your point, whichever it may be, when your example is not only not the best but in reality it is the worse that I've seen in a long time. I mean, you haven't made any point with it, other than the point of being wrong.. sorry to say.
As for the rest, Galicians are as related to the Central and Southern Portuguese as the Central or Southern Portuguese are related to Murcians. As for the relation of Galicians with the Northern Portuguese, this has diminished and will surely diminish more in the future while the Portuguese state denies them their identity and they eventually lose it.
p.s. actually, the relation of Central Portuguese with Murcians could be biologically closer, if the Alans left any print in both since they settled for a time in both ends of the Peninsula.  |
I explained that very well in the other post, within the white race use cultural-linguistic criteria because we are biologically very similar, if you read carefully the other post you will understand my explanation and reasons.
I can give you another example, the portuguese and italians are more similar than portuguese and basques, is that good eneugh for you or do you disagree?
