Description
Excerpt from Some Points of Similarity in the Phonology of Welsh and Breton
A noteworthy feature of both languages is the treatment of borrowed Romance words, and in this respect a comparati vely wide field of investigation is afforded by the fact that both borrowed without restraint from their neighbours.
Numerous dialect peculiarities have been noted. For the Bre ton dialects, the various articles which haved appeared from time to time in the volumes of the Revue Celtique, as well as the grammars of the Breton dialects, have been taken as authorities for the remarks made thereon in the paragraphs in which they occur. Various Welsh and Breton texts and dictionaries to which access could be found, have been perused, as will be noted from the list of abbreviations.
