Yod patatez

A fun video for fun! I couldn't raise the quality to its full potential, I'm still a lerner, that's why. Huge thanks to Nikap, Argel and Tene for being part of this project and to Bates for holding the camera. This video idea was brought to me by Mystery Guitar Man, one of the most famous youtubers. He's great, you should check out his channel (if you don't know him).

Ur videoig farsus gant Tene, Nikap, Bates hag Argel. Mersi dezho ! Ar mennozh am eus kemeret digant Mystery guitar man ha kef kef eo bet ! Met diaes eo da lakaat e plas, rak resis-kenañ e ranker bezañ.

J'espère que cette vidéo vous plaira, le tout est un peu brouillon mais on a beaucoup rigolé à la tourner. Simer à Tene, Nikap et Argel pour leur fabuleux talent d'acteurs et à Bates pour avoir accepté de jouer les caméramen / caméraman (?) alors qu'il avait d'autres choses à faire.

@XanonymousFY Just because Breton has kept is name longer than e.g. French (whose earlier form was Latin) doesn’t mean that it’s older than French because of these reasons. Even if French still would be called Latin, Caesar and Sarkozy wouldn’t be able to have a conversation. And nor would a Breton speaker be able to talk to a Breton speaker from the same time. And you can say that Breton had consonant mutations back then, but French surely also had things that existed in Latin.

[Xozny]

@XanonymousFY The problem is that a lot of people give certain languages higher status because of how ”old” they are when they mean ”conservative”. A language can change its name but still be very conservative. (Old Norse -> Icelandic) and it can keep its name and not be as conservative (Greek -> Greek). That doesn’t mean that Platon could listen to modern Greek and understand what they’re talking about just because it has the same name. It’s the same thing with Breton.

[XanonymousFY]

@Xozny It's the same thing for languages. To be called Breton,French,German etc a language must respect several grammatical rules. Concerning French these rules only appeared in the beginning of the middle-ages. So you can't say that French is 3000 years old just cause Latin is 3000 years old. But concerning Breton,Welsh and Cornish, they have many rules which already existed in ancient Briton, more than 2000 years ago. For example, consonant mutations. So we can say Breton is older than French.

@Xozny Bacteries have appeared on Earth billions years ago. Thanks to evolution, they finally became human. Would you say that human appeared billions years ago? Of course not. To be called "human", you have to respect several morphological and anatomical rules.

@hanterkant And just because e.g. Gaelic was called ”Gaelic” when Swedish still was called Germanic doesn’t mean that it’s more comprehensible to Gaelic speakers today than ”Swedish” from the same period is to Swedish speakers today. Hence, we cannot claim that Gaelic, or Breton, or any other Indo-European language is older than another Indo-European language just because the name is the same.

[Xozny]

@hanterkant Fair enough, but we’d have to count both the language in its modern form and its ancestors when we talk about a language and its history. Otherwise we could, as said, call Swedish Germanic and say that it’s much older than other languages. It just happens to have changed name to Old Norse etc.

[hanterkant]

@Xozny That is true: every language comes from a source. I just said that Old Breton was spoken before "Old English" and "Old French" named as per se. In fact, I follow you on this issue: when can we say a language differs from another one or from its "ancestor"? Big question for linguists. We know more about the birth of the "modern" languages like French or English than we know about Briton, but the last one predated the 2 other languages, even if all of them come from the same root.
