Breton wasn't created, its a natural language. If you are asking about it's origins, it originated from Cornish, Celtic Brythonic language related to Welsh. A flux of Welsh/Cornish immigrants went to Armorica (western France now) in the Vth century. They mixed with local population and this region became a country called "Brittany". The language evolved on it's own. Cornish and Breton were still mutually understandable in the XIXth century. Breton language is still spoken by around 200,000 persons but this number decreases each year...
