I was reading a ton about celtic languages yesterday, and wanted to dwell deeper into it. What a great timing lad
If every country was balkanized the world would be a better place
even if i'm not interested your thread is the greatest and most Sup Forums related so far
bump
Noice links
>posting actual Sup Forums related material instead of a shitty general or an unfunny bantz thread
What is this, 2013?
very neat finds, thanks OP
dont worry this thread will die before 20 posts while >WHY MURRICANS SHART IN MART will have 300+ and 2 more full cont. threads
Are any of you actively learning it?
Ya, me so o h-essae diskiñ brezhoneg.
why are you learning a useless language
I have linguistic autism and will enjoy this.
>"stop liking things I don't like!"
I don't want it to die. Plus, it's not useless if I'm enjoying myself and learning something new.
Noice, I already speak Welsh, might as well collect the other celtic tongues
OP, are you a Breton speaker?
>Welsh
I don't even hear that in Cardiff and so. How did you get to know the language?

>OP, are you a Breton speaker?
I'm not great at it, but I'm learning.
Literally the same reason my brother and I are learning Cornish together
>tfw speaking together at work for practice and co-workers said we sounded like the Sims
Not bad
Well said!
There's even Welsh on duolingo. It's easily accessible
called it
are you breton by chance?
Is it true Breton is doing badly and the amount of speakers continues to go down?
Why don't you add this stuff to the Wiki so we have it somewhere permanently.
Nice, I visited Bretagne a few months ago and loved it. Reminded me of Cornwall and I actually found a place called Cornouaille. Apparently Bretagne itself was founded by Cornish refugees fleeing the Saxons. Pretty cool desu
I wonder if they still have significant cultural similarities.
The Breton national anthem is set to the same tune as the Welsh and Cornish anthems, so I guess there's still gotta be some kind of cultural unity there
Lel, I can't believe this thread is still alive.
I'm at work now, but I'm a night shift toll booth operator so I can browse the 4chins all night long while getting paid for it.
Nope. Mostly just English, and possibly some Welsh but it's such an insignificant amount that it doesn't even count.
Yes, it's rapidly declining and at this rate in ~30-50 years there will be no speakers left, just recordings.
Which Wiki?
Nice. I'm going to be visiting in the summer.
As someone who has been studying Breton for around 5 months or so, I can understand anywhere from 25% to 50% of Cornish texts I read, and maybe a third (at most) of Welsh texts. Definitely not mutually intelligible, but as far as the music, mannerisms, and food, there are definitely some similarities.
Breton is a dead language, nobody speaks it on their daily lives, people learn lit at school as a foreign language, speaks it badly and with a strong French accent.
Regional languages are dying out in France, Alsatian is another language only spoken by old people.
4chanint.wikia.com
Breton isn't even on there.
Sad but true. The French accent is apparent. In older recordings you didn't hear the French "R" sound as often, now everyone that speaks it uses it. I personally trill mine while speaking, and I think a couple of groups like those speakers from Morbihan use the "Spanish" R.
I'm making the page now. I'll put as much information as I possibly can on it.
You are doing god's work. Future anons will be grateful for your service
Are Basque and Catalan dying in France as well?
>food
Hmmm interesting. For Celtic food, I only have images from Scotland (munch box, haggis, etc). Wonder what is it like?
Bump for a great thread.
