The centuries-old process of lexical and social recovery in relation to the Galician language has given rise to innumerable debates, methodologies and ideological positions with regard to grammar and other more sociolinguistic considerations, including spelling, standardisation (dating back to the 18th century) and public regeneration policies: What type of Galician did the revivalists of the 19th century consider the most suitable basis for a literary language?
