Today, these norms, revised and expanded, are condensed in the work Ortografia Galega Moderna confluente com o Português no mundo.

In May 1981, several meetings took place in Santiago de Compostela, concluding that it was necessary to take advantage of the new political conditions (Statute of Autonomy of Galicia) to address the problems of the Galician language.

On June 9 of that year, the founding act was drafted in A Coruña, with members including Xavier Alcalá, António Gil Hernández, Manuel Miragaia, José Maria Monterroso, and Joám Carlos Rábade.

In October, the association was legalized, and in December, the first National Council was elected, chaired by founding member Xavier Alcalá.

However, since the association's founding, it had already published essays, conference proceedings, and books of poetry, theater, or fiction by authors such as Ramom Lôpez Suevos, Ricardo Carvalho Calero, Elvira Souto, Carlos Garrido, Carles Riera, Manuel María, Ernesto Guerra da Cal, João Guisán Seixas, and Jenaro Marinhas del Valle.
