Galicia, located at the northwest edge of Spain where the nation appears to encroach on Portuguese territory, is home to perhaps the most Celtic of Celtic influences on Spain as a nation. Though Galicia is today certainly a part of Spain, the regional Galician language is perhaps more associated as a disputed dialect of the Portuguese language, often associated with being written in Spanish orthography even in spite of the Portuguese syntax, particularly notable with place names such as “A Coruña,” which would be written in Portuguese orthographic syntax as “A Corunha.”
