yes, unfit is right.
portuguese and galician were in fact one and the same language until approx 1500 AD. It was called galaico-portugues. it was born from the appropriation of what is known as low-latin over celtic (or even pre-celtic) languagues from the peninsula, such as basque.
many celtic words persist today in spanish/portuguese in spite of the major latin influx, like:
caminho/camiño (road), cerveza/cerveja (beer), caballo/cavalo (horse. horse is funny coz in éireann it's "cappal")
and many others words starting at celtic stems like "Can", "Bra", "Cla" and endings like "nho", "ño", "ança", "anza", "emes", etc.
sorry to be such a scholar, but i love this shit.
