Just the way I pretend I speak fluent English, I sometimes pretend I understand Breton! I answer with lots of -ouez -ouec -ach words and it has its little effect! hehe It’s a strange *language*, when I switch on tv in Breton, my ears suffer a bit, I’m not used to the hard sounds or combinations of it!

Keith, so many of the Breton familial words are identical to those used in my native Welsh. Those that differ are : brother = brawd ; husband = gwr (gwaz/gwas is used in Welsh as ‘servant’!) ; boy = bachgen ; girl can be geneth (+merch) ; man = dyn; woman = menyw (+gwraig) ; marriage = priodas and neighbour = cymydog.
It’s a pleasure to read your site and If I can be of any (further) use, as in pronunciation etc. just give me a shout, as it were. G.
P.S….sorry to be a joke fiend, but what do you call a learned Welshman? DI-VERSITY, innit!
