Breizh
1)
Breton name of Brittany, one of
the 6 celtic nations.The languages spoken there are : Breton,
Gallo and French.Divided into nine countries ("bro(
ioù)") : Bro-Gwened, Bro-Naoned, Bro-Roazhon, Bro-Zol, Bro-Sant-Maloù, Bro-Sant-Brieg, Bro-Gernev, Bro-Dreger and Bro-Leon2) Breton name of the french region of Brittany. It's the same territory except that after the
french revolution, the french began to completly disrespect
breton people and their culture. They first divided it into 5 départements (Morbihan, Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique, Côte-d'Armor and Finistère), and after WWII they decided that Loire-Atlantique didn't belong to region of Brittany anymore..., Also, for many years they
forbade Breton and Gallo languages. Now it's allowed to talk Breton or Gallo but those languages are not "officially acknowledged" and the whole breton culture is still disrespected/not even acknowledged. Some Bretons consider themselves as french, some say they're both french and breton and some don't want to be called french. So when somebody say they're Breton, telling things like "It's in France" or "So you're french" is quite offending, just like telling welsh they're english.3)Brittany (The nation) is sometimes called Breizh in other languages than breton to differentiate it from the french region or, in english, to make the name easier to
differenciate from britain. It can also be written Breizh or Breih. the diminutive form for "Breizh" is "
Bzh".
BEVET BREIZH

An expression of
Breton pride and cultural identity. Often used as a
rallying cry by the Breton people, "BEVET BREIZH" literally means "Long live Brittany" (It's literally the best region in France, hate me for it). This sentence is also said a lot during concerts or other big events by random guys waving the
Gwenn Ha Du flag and drinking cider (They are usually drunk by 8 in the morning).
Example:
Peter: Have you seen my car
keys?
That random
Breton guy: BEVET BREIZH
FUCKER
