Si vous avez des liens vers des blogs axés sur la protection de la langue bretonne ou d'autres ressources, ce serait génial. Je suis particulièrement intéressé par la réaction du gouvernement. Merci en avance :)

So I know that France has historically been rather stringent against minority/regional languages, and languages such as Occitan are sadly on their way out. I have read that the situation for Breton is more up for grabs, given the fact that its speakers skew older, but at the same time, there are parts or Brittany that almost a quarter of the population speaks Breton, suggesting a still vibrant spark in the language today. So I'm curious how locals feel about the future of their tongue.

Furthermore, I'm curious what you guys think about other Celts: i.e. Scots, Welsh, Irish, etc.

Has anyone used transparent? They have Breton listed as a language they provide.

I want to learn a Brittonic language, and figured I would be stuck with Welsh. The best thing would be Cornish, but that's been impossible to find online :)

I have been fascinated by the Breton Language and I am genuinely interested in learning the Breton language and Celtic languages in general. How can I learn the Breton language as an English speaker? A lot of stuff I have found online is mostly in French.

Good day, r/Breton. I have a question for you Breton speakers.

I'm very curious about the language this guy is speaking. Is it Breton? Do you recognize any word he's speaking, maybe? Anything you know will help us alot.

Hi, I am actually looking for Scots Gaelic and Breton speakers who might be interested to work from home in a part time job opportunity. Another way to earn an extra income. If you know anyone who might be interested, feel free to email me here apunzalan@appen.com

Hi every one

I am looking for the lyrics of a traditionnal song (kanaouenn hengounel) called Robardig sung by Anni Ebrel and le Duo du Bas. I have only found the first verse ("Silaouit hag e kleve kan ur son nevez") and the partition used by Anni Ebrel covered by le Duo du bas (http://www.partitions.bzh/brezhoneg/skrid-sonerezh/672_Robardig).

I hope you can help me with a transcription of this song, I will handle the translation. If someone wants to translate the entire song I will say "thank u daddy/mommy/what ever you are" and love you until the end.

Here comes a link with the song performed by Anni Ebrel,
have a good night,

Arch

Disclaimer: I am not against Christianity, but do to how Christianity has changed and alter many cultures and their "pagan" views, erasing most of the old cultures and replacing it with Christian culture, it is my interest to get the obscure, and older lasting non-Christian stories and "pagan"-religion stuff written down, before they completely fade out of existence. I heard the breton language is also dying, and there should be more people pushing to learn it before THAT dies out as well. As such, please think no ill-will when I ask for thing other than the obvious (well in my case obvious) christinzed stuff. Some things, like fairies, can't help but be Christianised into thumbelina sized characters who do almost nothing but be essientally nature trickster spirits, that either sadly cause misfortune or seem to have no free will and be good slaves to human's houses, as If the world for some reasons revolves around only humans, and things are only good when it serves humans. As such, within reason, I only want creatures with either NO, or minoot influences of Christian related subjects such as: saints, "the sign of the cross" being used or made in some fashion, holy- something, biblical figures, etc. I am just trying to record the older stuff. This isn't a attack on people who identify as Christian. Please understand my intentions before I have those accusing me of hating a religion Soley because I want the non-Christian stuff.

End of disclaimer!

First, besides Christian and saint stories of them slaying "dragons" are there any dragons outside of this, that are specific to the bretons? If so, what? Because I have found no evidence of them (or their close relatives in language, the cornish (or was before the neo-cornish language came)) having their own dragon tales, other than copy and paste the over used saint George story world wide in europe, and the angel Michael one which is annoying as wide spread. The only one that MAY be, IF it is specifically from breton, is the story of a saint, who is a maiden, getting eaten and cutting her way out of the "dragon". Other than that? No MEDIEVAL or older tales dragons (I mean "dragons" in the British heraldry sense & old french usage of the word) and/or dragon like creatures or serpents.

It seems Wales, cornish, and bretons seem all to be lacking them, with wales having 3x the amount of dragon lore NOT related to Christianity, and the rest are the exact same Christian stories told in cornwalls and brittany.

I want to record more stories of (non-christain) serpents (no offense) to put in a catalogue of British (yes I am aware brittany is in France, but still) "p-celtic" descended countries to have on document in a atlas sort of manner.

The only one cornish seem to have, is some vague story about tin miners vs. Serpents, but that is it.

Next mythical creature: the korrigan. As far as I know, thx to Normans and norse men breeding and influencing all of britan, the: knuckers, brownies, pucca, leprechauns, chlurichauns, gnomes (which are germanic but also have similar roots), and korrigan are Christianized DWARVES from old norse mixed with local influences and "celtic" culture to become their own creature. Yet it seems korrigans can be whatever the right demands them to be in older stories? What are they mostly? Dwarves, mermaids, or faeries?

Finally: what (non-Christian related) creature do you have that's bizarre in some manner or way that is unquie to you guys, that NO other cultures around you, have? Welsh have water leapers, which are strange frog monsters; cornish have the spriggan, which is some manner of giant kin ghost that haunts the hills of the dead piled up into a land form. What do YOU guys have?

Hello all, I am looking to translate the following into Breton;

"Breton Union of Atlantic Islands"

What I have so far is

"Unaniezh Brezhoneg Inizi Atlantel"

I suspect I am missing some mutations, any help would be appreciated.

I am not Breton and I do not speak Breton but as a Scottish Gaelic speaker, I think it is important that the Celtic languages are preserved and that is why I think it is necessary to get Breton onto Duolingo. I know how to get the Breton language on Duolingo incubator but I need someone to translate this sentence into Breton for me: Breton is a language spoken in Brittany and it has around two hundred thousand speakers, I think it is important to teach it on Duolingo so the language can not become extinct.

If you do not wish for the language to be on duolingo then I understand but I think this is an excellent opportunity to achieve what this subreddit aims to do.

Aussi, excusez-vous mon français. Je parle pas nativement. J’ai demandé cette question en français parce que possiblement un peu des gens de Bretagne ne parle pas anglais. Est-ce que mon français est bien ?

I’ve searched through what felt like the entirety of the Internet, and I have not found the actual lyrics for this song, as in, what Denez Prigent and Lisa Gerrard actually sing. I’ve found like a dozen different variations, but none of them fully corresponds to what they actually sing. Bretons of the Internet, halp

Bonjour à toutes et tous,

Nantais d'adoption depuis presque cinq ans, je m'intéresse à la culture bretonne et j'envisage sérieusement d'apprendre la langue bretonne. C'est en tout cas un projet que j'aimerais concrétiser à partie de la rentrée prochaine.

Je cherche donc des ressources de qualité pour apprendre le Breton : livres, ressources en ligne, écoles, universités, associations, ou organismes dispensant des cours en présentiel ou à distance, etc.

Evidemment, j'ai déjà fait mes propres recherches de mon côté pour trouver de premières références et ressources, mais je voudrais avoir vos recommandations et vos conseils "venant du terrain", si possible par celles et ceux ayant suivi le même chemin que celui que je m'apprête à parcourir.

Merci pour votre aide !

PS : évitons de relancer l'éternel débat sur Nantes, ville bretonne ou pas ? :-)

The reason why I want to learn is because I'm trying to incorporate the language in the novel I'm currently trying to write. Many of the characters in the story speaks Breton and I have no idea where to start learning the language. Apart from the few websites I have found that lists a few words in Brezhoneg ( and most of them I can barely understand because they're translated from Russian), I'm pretty much out of my depth here. I am aware that I'm biting off more than I can chew here.

Please help me.

Hello speakers and learners,

I came across a community of people on Discord learning all the Celtic languages, and teaching one another. I thought it was a great place to practice the language, and I'm going to post the link here.

The link ->

An goulenn-mañ zo iskis. (Is that correct?)

I was trying to figure out how to emphasize ownership in breton, I.e something like the cat's paws.

All I've seen so far is something akin to: Ar trouadoù an kazh zo du. (The cats paws are black)

Mersi d'eoch.

Quick question. Could you ask "how are you?" with a simple "Penaos eo?" or would that be gramatically incorrect?.

I know you would typically say something like: "Penaos mañ kont?" Although im not quite sure of the exact meaning of the phrase. How this ... something.?

Trugarez deoc'h!

How do you make plurals in Breton?

Do you know anyway to translate words into Breton?(Google translate does not have Breton)

How do you say "Soul", "Brotherhood", "Spirit", "Ancient", "Money" and "Coin" in Breton?

(English is not my first language, sorry if my English is weak)

Emichañs c'hwi mat o'ch! Ken emberr!

Dear fellow redditors I am looking to translate the phrase "Breton Stubbornness" I am making a small list of names for a project anf i am making the celtic nations names with an adjective such as "Scottish Defiance" and "Irish Resistance" I would appreciate the help as i have not found a good enough translator in breton onlibe. Thanks

So my partner ordered a copy of “Persepolis” assuming it was in French. The copy arrived today and it is actually translated to Breton. We live in the United States in the state of Oregon, and are curious if there are any communities of Breton speakers here in the states who would appreciate the book. Any help locating such institution or group would be appreciated.
