Once Brittany’s generation of Baby Boomers die off, the language will most likely go extinct just like its sister tongue, the Cornish language; mentioned in the previous post.France also passed language laws to try and stop efforts to save the country’s minority languages, including Breton, and refuses to sign an EU treaty on protecting minority languages.White supremacy always expresses itself in the extermination of culture. -- source link
