It belongs to the Brittonic branch of the Celtic languages, like Welsh and Cornish. Breton is classified as "severely endangered" by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger. The language declined from more than one million speakers around 1950 to less than 200 000 in 2024. After a period of intense protest that began in the 1960s, Breton gradually regained a place in schools, on road signs, then in the media, public life in general, and more recently in digital technology. Approximately 20 000 pupils attend Breton bilingual classes, either in the Diwan network (immersive teaching) or in bilingual classes in public and catholic school systems.
