Abstract
This article discusses the dynamics of linguistic revitalization in late‐20thcentury Galicia. It includes an examination of the conflicts surrounding the way in which the minoritized Galician language was standardized and normalized in post–Franco Spain. This is followed with a consideration of the difficulties of promoting a recently standardized version of Galician among rural dwellers who speak local vernaculars. The concepts of "languages of solidarity" and alternative linguistic markets are applied to the employment of vernacular Galician in rural communities to contest the authoritative definition of "correct" language by urban planners and and educators.
