Gallegan ({{{1}}})

1. Galician, a citizen of Galicia. However, Galicians might consider the term Gallegan offensive because it is based on the Spanish gallego rather than the native word galego.
2. The Galician language spoken in Galicia. Although this language sounds like a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese, it is an independent language that evolved directly from Latin.

   Use of Gallegan and Galicia in "The Bible in Spain by George Borrow" (1842) [1].
