Breton

The Breton people, or Brets (Breton: Hominum Bretunicus) are an ethno-linguistic group of people originating from the Benthic peninsula, the modern-day Graecian and Waxwaerlian region, who speak the Breton languages (Breton, Norse, Andrean and Neo-Breton). While most speakers of Norse are of the Teauf ethnicity, there are pockets along the Southwest Teaufortrian border region (among the North Andrean Mountains) that are of Breton descent, and the language is still considered a Breton language due to the Breton influence in its inception, during the Second and Third Eras.

Etymology
The term Bretunicus was originally used by the Prebreton tribe of Vacadonia, and later the Graecs, as a word to define all of Man. Hurk, who hailed from this tribe and who conquered and united the Graecian region, establishing the First Divine Empire of Graecia, referred to the united peoples of Graecia as Bretunicae. Most historians and philosophers of the day accepted this, and over time the term stuck.

History
The Breton people, due to their relative isolation during the Pre-Era, retained a very distinct language structure and physiology. The Breton language has never really been in danger of obsolescence since the dawn of the First Era either, due to early Graecia's militaristic nature and focus on cultural dominance. During the first colonial age, as Waxwaerlia expanded across the Sea of Benth and up the coast of the Andreas Sea, the language spread to an unprecedented breadth, with almost a third of the world speaking Breton.

During the second colonial age, when the southern trade routes were established, connecting the continents of Benth and Stanislavica, Breton people and language, and the religion of Pedianity, were spread to the Western Hemisphere. By this time, Waxwaerlia and Teaufortria had established the House of Mist, centralizing Breton power in the East.
