@Froaringus Hello! Wouldn't a quote from 1457 be considered Old Portuguese? Or had the language diverged enough by then to be Middle Galician? DerekWinters (talk) 02:04, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

@DerekWinters Hi! Mostly what Academia calls Galician-Portuguese (here we assume Old Portuguese = Old Galician = Galician-Portugese, but academically they are different concepts) is the collection of lyrical texts produced in Galician/Portuguese, regardless of them using the different Galician or Portuguese spelling, till the Middle of the 14th century, and by authors that were either from Galicia, from Portugal, or even not native speakers. But Galicia and Portugal maintained separated (and increasingly divergent) narrative traditions, separate administrative/judicial lects, separate spellings, and a divergent lexicon, aside from other grammatical features, already since the very beginning of their written history in the 13th century.

Anyway, long story short, I guess this text could be academically considered Old Galician or rather transitional Middle Galician, but not Old Portuguese. Certainly, at the time and place of its redaction nobody would thing of it as a Portuguese text, but as a Galician text. Greetings. --Froaringus (talk) 07:10, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
