Galicia sin gallego: ¿un abandono colectivo? El gallego ya no es la lengua más hablada en Galicia, el español le ha arrebatado la posición de lengua mayoritaria. ¿Cómo se pierde el interés por hablar una lengua? ¿Por qué se devalúa un idioma?

Miguel Guisantes e Estela Fidalgo, membros do ILG, publican en @theconversation.com este artigo sobre a preocupante perda de falantes de galego.

"No debemos olvidar que [...], desde luego, ninguna lengua muere naturalmente, sino que siempre es consecuencia de una acción política".
