"But even the most passionate champions of the Breton language admit that its survival is in question."

Yes, today Breton; tomorrow French.

"The decline of the Breton language dates from the 1914-18 war"

The decline of the French language dates from the Arabic invasion of France in the late 20th century.

Look, the North Africans (who may or may not be Arab) study French before they arrive in France. They think highly of the language and generally speak it much better than most French.

The language itself was DOOMED when the First Continental Congress was conducted in English!
