What is Breton and how is it related to other Celtic languages?

Breton (Brezhoneg) is a Brythonic Celtic language of western Brittany, closely related to Cornish and Welsh. It was brought to Armorica by migrants from Britain between the 5th and 7th centuries. UNESCO classifies it as severely endangered; estimates suggest about 210,000 speakers in 2018, mostly older adults, with a growing immersion-school network.

What grammar features does Breton have?

Breton uses initial consonant mutations (the start of a word changes after certain triggers, e.g. tad 'father' → ma zad 'my father'), VSO word order in many constructions, and inflected prepositions (with-me, with-you etc. are single words). LingoBear lets you see these in context with instant translations.
