There is no standalone "c" in Breton
Mar. 21st, 2022 12:06 amSome time back, I mentioned having seen some graffiti in Brezhoneg (Breton) for the first time. I have now seen some for the second time!
Given that it was in the same place and a similar hand, it's probably by the same person. Last time it read "Peseurt koc'h! Boikot!" ("This is shit! Boycott!"), this time around just "Boikot!", which likely reads as a misspelling of the French word "boycott" to the immense majority of the people reading it. But I know. And it makes me happy.
Entry title explained: none of the three orthographies of Brezhoneg, peurunvan, skolveurieg or etrerannyezhel, use "c" on its own in Breton words. It only appears as part of the digraph "ch" and the trigraph "c'h".
