Breton is still spoken in France, but the government does not try to help its survival and apparently the number of speakers is steadily declining. The language was brought to that part of France by people fleeing from Britain.

There are people who have tried to revive Cornish (maybe mainly in Cornwall) but I think they have to "fill in the gaps" with material from Welsh (like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park which were recreated with the help of frog DNA).

Interesting phenomenon, this idea of trying to save dying languages. Now, I'm fascinated by language, but I just don't quite see the point of saving one that has no use.
