The Associaçom Galega da Língua is a reintegracionist group created in 1981 that aims for the full normalization of the Galician language, which it considers to be a branch of the Galician-Portuguese language. Contrary to the norms of the RAG, its Comissom Lingüística published its own norms in 1983 titled Estudo crítico das normas ortográficas e morfolóxicas do idioma galego. Today, these norms, revised and expanded, are condensed in the work Ortografia Galega Moderna confluente com o Português no mundo.^[1] AGAL seeks to incorporate Galician into the Galician-Luso-Brazilian linguistic sphere. It considers that Galician is the name that Portuguese has in Galicia and accepts that the international name is Portuguese.

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. It was agreed to establish an association (AGAL) with the objective of achieving a substantial linguistic and cultural reintegration of Galician, especially in written manifestations, in the linguistic and cultural area that is proper to it: the Galician-Luso-African-Brazilian (extract from AGAL's first Statutes).

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.

AGAL was one of the institutions that in 1986 promoted the creation of the A Mesa pola Normalización Lingüística.^[2]

In 2018, it adopted binormativism as a programmatic axis.^[3]
