Breton language
(redirected from Brezhoneg)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Breton language

Member of the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family; the language of Brittany in France, related to Welsh and Cornish, and descended from the speech of Celts who left Britain as a consequence of the Anglo-Saxon invasions of the 5th and 6th centuries. Officially neglected for centuries, Breton is now a recognized language of France.

Since 1985 Breton has received some encouragement from the central government. The Breton Liberation Movement claims equal status in Brittany for Breton and French.
