This year marks the centenary of the founding of the Irmandades da Fala. It was on May 18, 1916, that Antón Villar Ponte organized the meeting that led to the creation of the first Irmandade dos Amigos da Fala in A Coruña.
The first Irmandade dos Amigos da Fala was established on May 18, 1916, in the city of A Coruña, at the premises of the Real Academia Gallega on Riego de Agua Street. This meeting, organized by Antón Villar Ponte, was attended by notable figures including Manuel Lugrís Freire, Florencio Vaamonde Lores, Uxío Carré Aldao, Lois Porteiro Garea, Micaela Chao Maciñeira, Francisco Tettamancy, and Ramón Villar Ponte. This new association quickly expanded to other cities and towns (Santiago, Monforte de Lemos, Vilalba, Ferrol, Vigo, Lugo, Vilagarcía de Arousa, Cambados, Ourense, Madrid, Havana, etc.) with the aim of defending the Galician language, culture, and the nation. Its ideals were reflected in the pages of its mouthpiece: A Nosa Terra.
The Irmandades da Fala have been the subject of various research studies conducted by the Grupo de Investigación Lingüística y Literaria Gallega (ILLAGroup). Pilar García Negro, Laura Tato Fontaíña, Carlos C. Biscainho Fernandes, Cilha Lourenço Módia, Xosé Ramón Freixeiro Mato, Carme Fernández Pérez-Sanjulián, and Goretti Sanmartín have all contributed to this field of study.
