How are Castellano, Catalan, and Gallego related?

Question

Explain how are Castellano, Catalan, and Gallego related.

Answer 1

These are three different languages (as well as three different people groups) in Spain. A fourth is Basque, or Eusquerra. Catalan is the language spoken in Catalonia, whose capital is Barcelona. 15,000,000 people speak Catalan, if we include Valenciano and Mallorquin in this group. (Mallorquin is the dialect spoken in the island of Mallorca - a Balearic island. We could also call it the Balearic dialect). Catalan is older than Castilian (the language we commonly know as 'Spanish'). It is closer to the Latin roots.
Gallego is the language spoken in the region bordering on the Atlantic Ocean, closest to Portugal. It has a strong similarity to Portuguese.
Castilian, or Castellano, is the language we know as Spanish. It is the language of Castille, and is spoken, within some differences in accent and pronunciation, over most of Central and South America, Brazil being a notable exception. During the Franco dictatorship, it was the only recognized official language of Spain. Now, however, the three other regional languages are officially recognized in their regions.
Then you have Basque, or Eusquerra, spoken in the Basque country, or Euskadi. Part of this region is actually in France.
Basque, or Euskerra, is considered to be one of the hardest languages in the world to learn, because it does not belong to any family of languages in the world. Its origin is still a mystery.

Answer 2

I live in Valencia and we speak Valenciano, a dialect of Catalan or catalonian. the iberian peninsula was occupied by celts and iberos until the romans arrived. The celts spoke various forms of a celtic language, the iberos iberian dialects but of indoeuropean origin. When the visigoths and other tribes ousted the romans they all spoke latin with its roots in indoeuropean, the language structure spread from the migratory movements from India and Minor Asia. The languages then indepently evolved, the galicians with the tilt of the accent left over by the celts that mostly lived there before and during roman occupation. Castillian evolved from a mispronounciation of latin although some say it came from the mixture of castillian and basque ( a theory not confirmed but sustained by words such as castillo, gaztelu in basque) and catalan came from the mix of latin and what later became french. basque is a non indoeuropean language therefore has no common sintaxis with the other three you mentioned in your question. The divisions among castillian, galician and catalonian came during the times of the moorish occupation. The moors occupied but retreated from the territories of Galicia and catalonia various times, becauseof the weather in Galicia and the protection of France over the catalalonian counties as they were then called. The answer is they are related because they are all from latin and indoeuropean descent. Gallician, in fact, resembles Portuguese, another indoeuropean language.
