ValdemieGC [#7]Fitiño
Just like a portuguese speaker would pronounce it probably.
He is galician after all
are galicians portuguese?
feaN [#9]are galicians portuguese?
No, but their languages are pretty similar from a spanish speaking point of view (you could think of galician as a mix of spanish and portuguese). Their idioms share some similarities since they descend from the same folk back in reconquista times

oh i see, but is spanish actually an ethnicity? since there are andalusians, galicians, catalonians, baskians etc. so spaniards are actually a mix of different ethnicities or? where for example in germany everyone speaks german except for bavaria but still its very very similar language to german, and in spain catalonian and basque are totally different languages especially basque

is spanish actually an ethnicity
It's a bit complex. Spain is often defined as a 'multinational' (plurinacional) nation/state that share main similarities within its borders, but at the same time, there are cultural aspects specific to certain subregions. Spain is a mix of different ethnic groups that existed in the Iberian peninsula through time (celts, íberos ('iberians'), roman, berber (some settled in the penisula after the reconquista) and many others. So you could consider spanish an ethnicity, but galician, andalusian, catalonian, castilian, baske, etc. as well.
and in spain catalonian and basque are totally different languages especially basque
Spanish, catalan and galician (and portuguese, italian, french, romanian) languages all descend from 'vulgar' latin, that is, latin that common people spoke. Catalan in particular is very similar, apart from spanish (often called castilian) to Italian or French. It is spoked not only in catalonia, but in valencia or the Balearic Islands (mallorca, menorca, ibiza, etc.) too.
Euskera (baske) is a compretely different language, it is an isolated language. We don't have evidences of where it came from. There are many different hypothesis, but all of them still unproven
