it is that I have heard many Galego speakers saying "zanfona" (with a th sound and all), and I presumed that zanfona AND sanfona were probably two accepted variations within all the dialects in Galiza. I also assumed that a more proper Castilan name would be "zanfoña", as I've heard elsewhere.
I am all for protecting the Galician language, it is so beautiful (and so beautifully close to my own language, Portuguese - even closer, somehow, to Brazilian Portuguese than to Continental Portuguese, I wonder why).
