This set of dialects was traditionally included by linguists as Galician-Portuguese or Galician, with some characteristics of Asturian language. That was the opinion of some linguists as Menéndez Pidal[2], Eugenio Coseriu, Luís Lindley Cintra[3], Dámaso Alonso or even more recent ones as Francisco Xavier Frías Conde[4] or Xoán Babarro[5]. Nowadays, however, there is a political-linguistic conflict on the identity of the language, between those that prioritize the Asturian identity of this speech and those that continue to prioritize the Galician substratum. The former, mostly in Asturias, identify Eonavian as a dialect continuum between the Asturian and Galician languages, or even a third language spoken only in that area. The latter, mostly in Galicia, identify it as Galician and request the protection which Galician enjoys in Castile and Leon, that protects the dialects of El Bierzo in cooperation with the Galician Government.

In this dialectal area, there are associations supporting each side, such as Mesa prá Defensa del Galego de Asturias, Colectivo Cotarelo Valledor and Asociación Abertal (defending the Galician theory) and Xeira (defending the Asturian theory). Its protection and language policy is the responsibility of the Asturian Government and the Secretaría Llingüística del Navia-Eo, a division of the Academia de la Llingua Asturiana responsible for this area. There are two different orthographies for Eonavian, the official one (more Asturian-like) and one made by the Mesa prá Defensa del Galego de Asturias (more Galician-like). Many countries have a language policy designed to favour or discourage the use of a particular language or set of languages. ...
