O_O this is a very interesting language!! i wish i could find some resources to learn it... it sounds much less french than i would have expected. i expected a language with an extremely french-influenced phonology. this is fairly french sounding, but it is very celtic at the same time. a very tantalising combination.
There's no French influence neither in the vocabulary nor in the pronunciation of Brezhoneg (Breton). I am about to complete my fourth year study of Brezhoneg and after much indepth research into and learning of this Language I can say that it's an ANCIENT Language that has escaped modifying or distorting influences despite the kind of history accompanying it. I now write, speak and translate Brezhoneg. Keltic Languages are same as Luo Language (shores of Lake Victoria and Nile).
Of course, there is a lot of influence of French vocabulary in Breton ! The language you learned is probably "NeoBreton", nothing to do with breton. A language spoken with French accent (every speaker has french as mothertongue) but "celtic" vocabulary.

no, not related at all...its an import from england....its original inhabitants that is before the angles and the saxons took over...its most closely related to cornish but welsh is a very close second.
Well, I mean, there's an enormous amount of French influence both in vocabulary and pronunciation. Surely you don't think that French has had no influence on modern Breton?

Although the speaker is very fluent, the writing and spelling are totally unusual. I think it is a personal work.

Is this language anything like old Celtic Gaulish once spoken across France.
irishoforiel 4 years ago
probably not. i think it's rather like extinct Cornish spoken by a french man.

It's our own language, Breton / Brezhoneg, similar to the Cornish and Welsh. Pure Celtic Language with 4 variants (Gwened, Leon, Tregur, Korn).
Nothing to do with France or french language. 1 million speakers at the start of 1900, down to 250.000 after repression in french schools.

je n ai que quelque base de breton mais la je ne comprend rien , quel est le sujet de ce text ?

Rien d'étonnant! Pour comprendre un texte parlé dans une langue étrangère il faut de solides connaissances de cette langue.
Une version de ce conte figure dans le livre "Rimodellou kostez Huelgoad" de Jañ-Mari Scragn.
Il est possible qu'il en ait mis une version française dans un de ses livres en français.
