Learning about others, learning about ourselves
Bro Nevez covers the Breton language and it's survival in the modern world. The Breton language is adapting itself to modern technology and life, it is vital, and a beautiful language to hear spoken and sung. There is a great deal of literature written in Breton. The language is related to Welsh and Cornish. Welsh is going strong, with solid bases in Wales and other places around the world. Cornish was almost lost, but is being re-invented. A Nation is strengthened by it's language and culture. Bro Nevez covers the struggle by Brittany to maintain it's language and culture while living in French citizenship. We in the United States cherish our odd form of English, it defines us, it grows as we grow, and gives us an historical continuity. Why should Brittany be denied its history and future growth? As we in the US see Spanish being insinuated upon us, we too must search our hearts regarding bilingualism. Unlike Spanish in the US, Breton was established long before French came to the peninsula. However, we can learn much about attitudes regarding language and culture by observing the Breton/French situation. When Spanish took over in the southern Americas it destroyed cultures and wisdoms that are now lost, as did other Europeans in their conquering of the New Worlds. It would be good if we could treasure the contributions of all cultures for their conceptual treasures, viewpoints, and unique logics. Bro Nevez does a terrific job in presenting the case for Breton, and by reflection, other languages and cultures.
