I'm so glad that Breton is having a revival, it's such a beautiful language, but i've never heard of this Gallo language before and it must be very rare to find native speakers, such a shame :,(

@Eru Clusivus yes, french speakers could understand a lot of gallo words, but gallo and french are more different than scots and english but you can still hear some traces of gallo in how some people speak here, especially old people, so maybe people who come from other parts of France would have a harder time understanding. Unfortunately when the french government created all the public schools, they banned all the regional languages from being spoken there so in a matter of 2 or 3 generations they almost completely wiped out most of these languages and dialects although they have gotten laxer and now authorise these languages to be taught ect, now that they aren't popular enough to be a problem.

Yes, the 7 founding Saints of Brittany are mostly Welsh and Cornish origin , and in the Breton tradition, all Bretons must make once in their life the Tro Breiz a catholic pilgrimage of 600 kilometers of walk, the pilgrims visiting the relics of the seven founding saints of Brittany in their respective city.

@@johnfrancisdooley6048 That's really interesting. I literally didn't know that until you said, so I did some of my own research. I can see the pilgrimage is around Brittany. I did read that in 2002, they switched to Wales. Do you know what sites they visited? I would image St Davids cathedral being one, but I know Llangyfelach church (Cyfelach and St David's church, Llangyfelach, Swansea to give it its proper title) is along the main route to more western parts of Wales and was founded by St David himself. I wonder if groups of Bretons visited there? I hope it returns to Wales or Cornwall again.

@@chrisrichards7930 Sorry for the late answer, I didn't know that the 2002 Tro Breiz passed through Wales, I can't answer you on the places to visit of these Breton pilgrims, but it's great, and it's a kind of historical logic than visiting the cradle of our holy founders. I can't wait to visiting Wales and Cornwall, it's for soon . You must visit, if you come to Brittany in Carnoet the "Traoñienn ar Sent" the Valley of the Saints, the Valley will eventually include 1000 monumental granit statues 4 meters high representing the founding Saints of Brittany, today there are 170 statues , that incredible.

"Diversity" You're correct. This is the only diversity Europe should have. It's false diversity that has led to the destruction of Europe's cultures.

Do we even need a "Britain"? If you care for culture, perhaps you should consider nationalism?

There should be the EU with new borders based on ethnic groups. Britanny should be independent.

French people are reluctant to talk about independence thought but independentists in France are often just nationalist that repeat independence without knowing what it implies and with no clear path to achieve it. But of course, you can continue to play the victim you poor exploited thing! You don't even bother to live in your own country as a true patriot to try to improve it, wether you consider your country to be Brittany or France. Emigrants, when it's not for work purpose should not complain about what's happening in the country they choose to left. Sidenote : An independent Brittany would most likely not be a monarchy, with modern time politics. It would most likely do quite the same as the region is doing right know, with roughly the same budget and laws modeled on French laws. The only true difference would be one more border on maps.

The French Society and its Future by anonymous author Introduction 1. The French Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the Breton race. They have greatly increased the life expectancy of those of us who live in advanced counties, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering, in the third world to physical suffering as well, and have inflicted severe damage to the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation, it will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world. It will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering, even in advanced countries.
