Breton is a Celtic language spoken in the west of Brittany (France). It's a brythonic language (same roots as welsh & cornish) still spoken today by around 200K users (1.3m in 1930).

This language is considered as being in great danger due to French centralization and political choices in the XXth century. Regional languages are not yet recognized as official by French government.
