| | |  Breton: Encyclopedia II - Breton nationalism - CultureBreton cultural movements are diverse and include many more active participants than the political parties with a Breton agenda.
The name Breton movement, or Emsav in Breton (which means uplifting, renovation), is used to group the major Breton political and cultural movements. Some feel the term (or the movements themselves) does not adequately reflect the diversity, internal divisions and conflicts within Brittany.
Traditionally, the history of the Breton movement is split into three periods, 1st Emsav being the birth of the Breton movement in 1914, 2nd Emsav covering the period 1914- ...

| | | | Breton: Encyclopedia - Music of Brittany Brittany is on the northwest coast of France and is a region unique in that country in its Celtic cultural derivation. Though long under the control of France and influenced by French traditions, Brittany has retained and, more recently, revived its own folk music, modernizing and adapting it into folk-rock and other fusion genres.
Brittany has been inhabited by the Celts since about the 6th century, and were independent for a time, though not united politically or, in all likelihood, culturally. Charlemagne, a Frankish king, conquere ...

| | | | Breton: Encyclopedia II - Breton language - History Breton is not thought to be a descendant of any of the Continental Celtic languages such as Gaulish (though it may have borrowed some features from it); rather, it is descended from the Brythonic branch of Insular Celtic languages brought by Romano-British settlers to Brittany after the Roman departure from Britain in the early 5th century. The modern-day language most closely related to Breton is Cornish, followed by Welsh. (The other regional language of Brittany, Gall ...

Breton language - Verbal aspect.
As in English and Irish, there are grammatical aspects for verbs in a particular tense, detailing whether or not an action is habitual. As in English, there is a distinction between the habitual form and progressive aspect:
Me zo o komz gant ma amezeg ("I am talking with my neighbour") ;
Me a gomz gant ma amezeg [bep mintin] ("I talk with my neighbour [every morning]") ;

| | | | Breton: Encyclopedia II - Breton language - Orthography The first Breton texts, contained in the Leyde manuscript, were written at the end of the 8th century: fifty years prior to the Strasbourg Oaths, considered to be the earliest example of French. After centuries of orthography calqued on the French model, in the 1830s Le Gonidec created a modern phonetic system.
During the early years of the 20th century, a group of writers known as Emglev ar Skrivanerien elaborated and reformed Le Gonidec's system, making it more suitable as a super-dialectal representation of the dialects of C ...

| | | | Breton: Encyclopedia II - Trégorrois Breton language - Distinguishing characteristics Trégorrois differs from other varieties of the language in a number of ways:
It always uses the possessive hon whereas the other dialects use hol before l, hon before ndth and vowels, and hor before all others (these other forms are nonetheless understood because of exposure to hymns and songs, for instance)
After the possessive hon, Trégorrois makes a sibilant variation (e.g., where Vannetais uses /hon tu/, or Cornouaillais and Léonard hon ti, Trégorrois says ...

| | | | Breton: Encyclopedia II - Breton language - Official status Breton is not an official language of France, despite pleas from autonomists and others for official recognition and for the language to be guaranteed a place in schools, the media, and other aspects of public life.
An attempt by the French government to incorporate the independent Breton-language immersion schools (called Diwan) into the state education system was blocked by the French Constitutional Council on the grounds that, as the Constitution of the 5th Republic states that French is the language of the Republic, no other language may be used as a language of instruction in state schools. The Toubon Law stat ...
