Gallaecian language

Gallaecian language is an old language that the people who lived in Galicia (a region in Spain) used to speak a very long time ago. It's kind of like how you might talk with your friends using words that some grown-ups might not understand, but instead of just being between friends it was used by everyone in that region.

Today, we don't hear people speaking Gallaecian language anymore, but we have some old writings and inscriptions in this language that we can use to learn about it. We can think of it like reading books that were written a long time ago, except it's written in a special code that we have to figure out first.

There are some people who are very interested in Gallaecian language and they study it to learn more about the culture and history of the people who used to speak it. It's kind of like a puzzle for them to try and figure out what the words mean and how they used to be used in conversations.

So, Gallaecian language is an old language that used to be spoken in Galicia a long time ago, and now people study it to learn more about the history and culture of the region.
