description No one disputes any longer that Breton was introduced at the end of Antiquity and at the beginning of the Middle Ages by colonisers coming from Great Britain and speaking a Celtic dialect called "Brittonic". Our starting point will be J. Loth’s thesis on the Breton emigration, together with the comments made by the best historians of the time, such as La Borderie, or by the Celtic linguists who succeeded him, in particular Messrs Falc’hun and Fleuriot. It is also necessary to measure the development of Breton colonisation and the intensity of the occupation of the territory. The problem of historical geography, supported by linguistic evidence, will be discussed here. Finally, the dialectological question of the distinction of Breton from the rest of the Celtic languages will be raised.
