Abstract

The initial period of this brief history of Galician and of linguistic reintegrationism starts with some remarks on a «letter» by Martim Sarmiento (1695-1771), the precursor of Galician philology, and ends in 2019, when the Real Academia Galega decides to dedicate the Dia das Letras Galegas (Galician Literature’s Day) to the reintegrationist scholar Ricardo Carvalho Calero (1910-1990). Only summarized ideas are here presented on the 19th century and first half of the 20th century, while more information is given with regard to the second half of last century and the first decades of the 21st century.
