Breton Language
Breton (, ; or in Morbihan) is a Southwestern Brittonic language of the Celtic language family spoken in Brittany, part of modern-day France. It is the only Celtic language still widely in use on the European mainland, albeit as a member of the insular branch instead of the continental grouping. Breton was brought from Great Britain to Armorica (the ancient name for the coastal region that includes the Brittany peninsula) by migrating Britons during the Early Middle Ages, making it an Insular Celtic language. Breton is most closely related to Cornish, another Southwestern Brittonic language. Welsh and the extinct Cumbric, both Western Brittonic languages, are more distantly related. Having declined from more than one million speakers around 1950 to about 200,000 in the first decade of the 21st century, Breton is classified as "severely endangered" by the UNESCO '' Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger''. However, the number of children attending bilingual classes rose 33 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In World War II he was part of the French Resistance. Kervran proposed that nuclear transmutation occurs in living organisms, which he called "biological transmutation".

Proponents of biological transmutations fall outside mainstream physics and are not part of accepted scientific discourse.

Quimper Cathedral
Quimper Cathedral, or at greater length the Cathedral of Saint Corentin, Quimper (french: Cathédrale Saint-Corentin de Quimper, br, Iliz-veur Sant-Kaourintin), is a Roman Catholic cathedral and national monument of Brittany in France. It is located in the town of Quimper and is the seat of the Diocese of Quimper and Léon. Saint Corentin was its first bishop.

The cathedral was the site of a devastating fire in 1620 when the bell tower was burned and the populace saw a green devil in the flames. According to legend King Gradlon met Saint Corentin on the mountain Mėnez-Hom and was so impressed by the strength of his religious faith that he invited the hermit to become Bishop of Quimper. The cathedral replaced an old Roman church which had a chapel attached to it called t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
