Breton (Brezhoneg, in Breton) is a Celtic language spoken in Brittany, in the north-west of France. Breton is closely related to the Cornish language of Cornwall spoken in south-west Great Britain. It is less closely related to the Goidelic languages of Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. The Breton language has approximately 240,000 speakers.[1]111
