Situace bretonského jazyka a národnostního uvědomování v Bretani
This paper is focused on Breton identity, its historical development and specific ethnic differences from the majority population. A significant part deals with the Breton language from a historical and current point of view. The article is based on primary and secondary data which were obtained from field research in Brittany.
