"Tholomyes is something of a Spaniard" bc 'Tolouse and Tolosa are cousins' (Tolosa is on the Basque Country, north of Spain) but then says it's a Gallega song (from galicia, another autonomous community from the North) and the song says "I'm from badajoz" which is in Extremadura, west & south of Spain.

#Les mis letters #Idk if this is hugo a) messing up b) does not care #Or c) making tholomyes look bad again in another subtle way #Its probably A and B I don't trust Hugo with facts #Also not that it matters much I just thought it was weird specially bc he had been in the basque country ?#A gallega might be something else idk and I don't have enough info on like wtf was up with dialects in xix century #But it sounds so weird for me for someone to go 'basque country! Galicia!' and then have a song that is not in basque nor in the gallician #Dialect #*galician #But like that is an insane amount of research to consider any of this for a song that doesn't do anything #Except hint that he's a playboy which we already knew #Anyway he made that song up that's enough work lol #Knowing that makes the oz os rhyme make sense..
