Abstract
I present an application of Correlative Dialectometry (Goebl, 2005, 2006, 2008) to Galician phonetic data. This tool makes it possible to check the degree of correlation between two distributions of data. In this case, I will analyse the correlation between the similarity indices of the 230 phonetic working maps referred to above and the geographical distance between points.
