Summary:Which orthographic norm should be used to take into account the particularities of local Breton and to restore the nuances of orality? In the absence of a single standard Breton, the transition from orality to a norm is made difficult. Based on a tale heard in Poullaouen from the mouth of a retired farmer born in 1910, the aim of this paper is to identify the main difficulties involved in transcribing such a text, which is therefore neither an ethnotext strictly speaking, nor a text of oral literature, but a personal oral creation in the register of "Sunday Breton", or, if one prefers, in a slightly sustained language.
