[citation needed] The Galician Language Association (Reintegrationist Galician: Associaçom Galega da Língua) was founded in 1981 under the name "Estudo crítica das normativas ortográficos e morfolóxicas do idioma galego" and officially published its own standard grammar in 1983,[citation needed] which closely resembles the grammar of Old Galician-Portuguese and thus the modern varieties of Portuguese.
In all cases, these interventions and encodings have been accepted by the Parliament as a valid form of Portuguese, that is, an official language of the European Union.
In this fashion, it is argued that Galician would be faithful to its history and etymology and subsequently its written norm would be more scientific and precise.
[citation needed] Thus, it would allow Galician speakers to have direct access to a world culture and it would also clarify some spelling problems of the isolationist norm (for example in terms of stress).
[9][10] A number of Portuguese linguists and authors such as Luís Lindley Cintra, Manuel Rodrigues Lapa, Fernando Venâncio, Carlos Reis or Malaca Casteleiro have expressed their agreement with the reintegrationist views.
