Breton bilingual signaling to spread since June

The phenomenon is expected to grow in the coming months. The Ai'ta movement received confirmation that all the signs along the national highways would be gradually replaced by bilingual versions since June. "It's a great signal. This shows that the state takes into account the Breton language, "says Yves-Marie Derbrée-Salaün, member of the collective Ai'ta.

The association has been campaigning for years for the regional language to be read and spoken. Before it, the association Stourm ar Brezhoneg (Fight for the Breton language) had done the same, including stealing panels. "It helped move communities forward," says Ai'ta spokesperson. Finistère had been a precursor before the Côtes d'Armor and Morbihan followed. Some municipalities have also adopted bilingual signs on municipal roads.
