Brit·ta·ny (brît¹n-ê) also Bre·tagne (bre-tän¹ye) - Breizh in Breton
Celtic historical country
Northwest 'near' France on a peninsula
between the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay.
In 500AD, Brythonics driven out of their homeland
by the Anglo-Saxons 'immigrated' to Armoric.
The country was illegally 'annexed' by France in 1532. (in french)
Language: Breton - Breizhoneg
Language is the badge of a society as it is the medium though which culture is transmitted. Breton is still the badge of our identity although, ironically too many of our nationals don't speak it. It does, however, live on in their minds and hearts. The natural developments of the Breton system were stunted by the imposition of French law in Brittany in 1958.

While the current political struggle remains to be won, we continue to be oppressed with the reality and trappings of an imposed system whose culture does not give true expression to our interests and aspirations as a people or to our experiences and values as individuals. This is a racist, alien culture which everywhere suggests and implies that we Bretons are somewhat "flawed" - a racist culture which can cause us to doubt our worth and our contribution to society and which, throughout its pervasive "common-sense" appeal does inevitably cause some of our people to internalise the negative image of Bretonness which for centuries has been and continues still to be, one of its structural features.
