gl Lucense

The province of Lugo (, ) is a province of northwestern Spain, in the northeastern part of the autonomous community of Galicia. It is bordered by the provinces of Ourense, Pontevedra, A Coruña, and León, the principality of Asturias, and in the north by the Cantabrian Sea (Bay of Biscay).

The population is 325,048, of which over a quarter live in the capital Lugo. The capital city was an ancient Celtic settlement named in honour of the god Lugh (see Lyon), later Latinised as Lucus Augusti, and which became one of the three main important Galician-Roman centres alongside Braccara Augusta and Asturica Augusta (modern Braga and Astorga respectively). The province has 67 municipalities.

Languages

The vast majority of people have a common language, Galician. Some people, especially the older generation, are monolingual in Galician. Even in the capital, the vitality of Galician in conversation is very strong.

The inhabitants speak several variants of Galician in the province of Lugo. They have the characteristics of being the closest to León isoglosses and therefore also Castilian. That makes them they some grammatical and phonetic signs that are mistakenly considered influences of Castilian or of Leonese. However, the Galician spoken in Lugo, especially in non-coastal areas, is probably the most conservative in Galicia because almost no historic pressure from Castilian has existed on the rural population.
