The population is 356,595 (2006), o whom a quairter live in the caipital Lugo. The caipital ceety wis a auncient Celtic dounset namit in honour o the god Lugh (see Lyon), later Laitinisit as Lucus Augusti, an which became ane o the three main important Galicie-Roman centres alangside Braccara Augusta an Asturica Augusta (modren Braga an Astorga respectively).

Thare are anerly a few fowk bilingual in Galicie an Castilian o the little ower 10,000 inhabitants. Even in the caipital, the vitality o the Galicie leid in conversation is vera strang. They speak several variants o Galicie in the province o Lugo. They hae the characteristics o being the closest tae León isoglosses an tharefore the Castilian leid an aw. So they hae some grammatical an phonetic signs that are mistakenly considered influences o the Castilian or Leonese leids. Housomeivver, the leid o Galicie in Lugo, especially in nan-coastal auries, is probably the maist genuine in Galicia, due tae amaist no historic pressur o Castilian exercisit on the landwart population.
