Best Answer

Castilian, Catalan, and Galician (the English words for the three languages you mentioned) are all romance languages. This means they all are descended from Latin. Each distinctive group of people formed their own idiosyncrasies of spoken Latin in their regions, and these changes developed into new languages over time. They are all considered separate languages, although there is a degree of mutual intelligibility between them, that is, a native speaker of Castilian can understand the basic gist of what someone is saying in Galician or Catalan, and even more so if it is written.
