Boal (written ''Boal'' according to the reintegrationist and isolationist writing norms and ''Bual'' according to the Occidental Asturian spelling)〔https://sede.asturias.es/bopa/2014/02/20/2014-02892.pdf〕 is a municipality, a civil parish and a town in the Autonomous Community of the Principality of Asturias (Spain). It borders north with El Franco and Coaña, south with Illano, west with Castropol and east with Villayón. The main way of access to the municipality is the regional road AS-12, which connects Navia with Grandas de Salime. The whole municipality has a population of 1,776 inhabitants, whereas there are about 526 inhabitants in the capital town. ==Etymology== Etymologically, it is usually considered that "Boal" comes either from the Indo-european languages, '' *bod-'' (stream, ditch), or from the Latin, ''bove'' or '' *bovale'' (ox). Although some authors believe that "Boal" could be understood as the expression of an old anthroponym or person name, Bovali (iler) or Baudiliu (adducing the form Baudali), it is common to consider its original meaning either as ''"terreno frecuentado y apropiado para el pasto del ganado vacuno"'' ("land frequented and appropriate for the grazing of cattle") or as ''"corral de bueyes o dehesa boyal"'' ("corral for oxen or ox pasture"). In fact, Corominas mentions in Aragonese ''boalage, boalar, "dehesa boyal"'' ("ox pasture") as derivatives of ''boal'', which would be at the same time a variant of ''boyal, "perteneciente al buey o al ganado vacuno"'' ("belonging to ox or to cattle") . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
