About the language
Around 200,000 speakers in Brittany, the only Celtic language with a continental homeland.
Breton (Brezhoneg) is a Brythonic Celtic language spoken in Brittany, in north-west France. It is closely related to Cornish and, a little more distantly, to Welsh, having been carried to the continent by migrants from Britain in the early medieval period.
Breton uses initial consonant mutation and verb-second tendencies that set it apart from the verb-first Goidelic languages. The course uses the widely taught standard orthography so material stays consistent across the historic dialect regions.
