The Academy is self-governing and independent, and maintains close ties with the Brazilian Academy of Letters and the Sciences Academy of Lisbon. In 2009 the Galician Academy produced a list of over one thousand words commonly used in Galicia's local language, for introduction into various Portuguese and Brazilian dictionaries and vocabularies.[2]
