Breton language

Breton is a language that some people speak in a place called Brittany. Brittany is in France, but it used to be its own place a long, long time ago.

Breton sounds different from French, which is the main language that people speak in France. Some people think that Breton sounds like it's singing!

Breton has its own special words that aren't used in French. So, it's like speaking a different language. Just like how some people speak Spanish, others speak English, and some speak Chinese.

People who speak Breton might feel proud because it's a part of their history and culture. They might speak it with their family and friends, go to Breton classes to learn more, or read books in Breton. It's important to keep it alive because languages are a big part of who we are and where we come from.
