+Copyright-free (CC0) sentences in Galician, collected by Proxecto Nós in order to contribute to the text corpus of Mozilla Common Voice.
+
+The rights to the original sentences were transferred to the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) by public or private entities, to whom we are grateful for their contribution.
+
+On this material, Proxecto Nos applied a series of transformations which resulted in the corpora herein mentioned. The original sentences were filtered for length and, where necessary, adapted to meet the Common Voice requirements (normalization of numbers, abbreviations, and acronyms, foreign word elimination, appropriateness, grammatical correctness, etc.).
+
+Preprocessing and processing of the corpora was done using dedicated scripts available here, as well as the [Sentence Extractor tool](https://github.com/common-voice/cv-sentence-extractor).
+
+The resulting corpora, published here copyright-free, are the following:
