The Sound of the Breton Language

[@SionTJobbins]

Hyfryd gweld hwn fel siaradwr Cymraeg - llawer o eiriau mor debyg yn enwedig y rhifo. Hoff iawn o sain yr iaith Lydaweg. As a Welsh speaker it's emotional to see how similar Welsh and Breton are. It's not mutually intelligible (well the numbers are almost exactly the same) but one can easily recognise many words and the structure is similar. All strength to the brave Breton fighting for their language against the anti-Breton French state and Jabocin mentallity and prejudice.

All Celtic languages and all Germanic languages and all Latin languages come from the same language Proto European or something which was created by a dude - the words have been modified a lot over time by certain dudes, and some new words replaced certain words, and so on, but I can still see some similarities between them! Breton is so pretty - the word blij also exists in the gorgeous language Dutch (I am advanced level in Dutch) and it is pronounced a bit different and has a different meaning, but it’s nice to see these similarities nonetheless, and the pronunciation and the endings of certain words remind of French, so the influence of French on Breton is quite obvious, and the word emberr is similar to the Hungarian word ember which means man (I am beginner level in Hungarian and Breton) and I also recognized the Latin related words deiz and noz / fenoz which mean day and night / tonight! I cannot believe that there are no yt channels that teach Breton and most other Celtic languages!

It's fascinating because you can recognize some latin words here and there, like "labourat", "trist", I wonder if it's actual latin/french influence or if it's related to the fact that proto celtic and proto italic were once kinda related and similar, so could be descending from the same roots.

[@saintlyscrawler8575]

@@saintlyscrawler8575 "labourat" in Italian is lavoro, coming from latin labor, while "trist" in Italian, french, Spanish and other romance languages is "triste", coming from Latin "tristis".

You find trist in Breton but also in Welsh, Cornish and Norwegian so I doubt it comes from French, but probably directly from Latin.

[@hlp2583]

and welsh could be an english breton, may be?

[@valeus1]

The people in this video are bilingual and must speak French half of the time. The "Frenchy" accent comes from the way they pronounce "r" from the back of the throat. But Breton doesn't sound like that. Here is a link to a video of poet Angela Duvall who was a native Breton speaker and rarely spoke French. In this video, she speaks French first, then switches to Breton when she talks with her friend. She speaks French with a strong Breton accent. That's how my grand-parents spoke too, their French sounded funny. The friend, who is sitting at the table, does have more of a French accent when she speaks Breton, probably again because she is bilingual and speaks French often. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onu6k62cmJZ7qM0.

[@bertoldriesenteil1430]

Breton has less french words than english of which about 41% are of french origin. You used one in your comment in fact, "Similarities". Noting that breton has some french words is often used to suggest that it is just a french dialect, which it isn't. I hear more french words in German than in breton. Many people pick out french words in foreign languages but do no do that when speaking their own language. Russiams use herman words and think that they are russian words. This is just a peculiarity of our brains.

Welsh is the closest language to breton! Breton IS NOT a dialect of french. Briezenhog, is a variation of brthonic. Brthonic is the language branch spoken by bretons, weksh cornish. If i was to count 1 to 5 in welsh. Un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump. Other welsh, Thanks is dioch, goodnight is nos dda, we toast by saying yachi da etc. The original bretons were brythonic speaking britons who migrated from briton because of saxon invasions in 4th-5th century AD.

[@guythepaut3292]

Bretons immigrated from Great Britain more precisely from Wales and Cornwall from the 5th century on... Their new country, Brittany, means little Britain. Welsh and Cornish languages are close to Breton language. Nothing to do with English or latin languages. They wanted to escape the Anglo Saxons invading their country at that time, when the Roman armies left Great Britain (to defend Roma) after living there for four centuries. So, we, Bretons, are descendants of Welsh and Cornish. Kenavo! ( = Bye Bye!) Elise Thépaut

[@ayangdidi5524]

The last researches indicate that the Breton migration during 5th and 6th centuries occurred mainly because of Irish expansion toward Wales and Cornwall. It's quite logical, Anglo-saxon push westward occurred mainly in East areas of Great Britain.
