The Breton Diwan is of recent formation, and yet! Yet it contains in it all the wisdom of the ancient languages of oral tradition, like the slang of the medieval builders or the Gallic language. And chance is for nothing.<\/p>\n
To designate a language that is understood only to insiders, we say:\u00a0language of the birds. It was the mysterious language of the builders of cathedrals of the Middle Ages. But this formula is not accurate. We\u00a0should say: language of Goslings.<\/p>\n
The difference is significant. Why\u00a0goslings ? Why goose? In coded language, journeymen builders of cathedrals were called the children of Mother Goose, which also means, in the language of Goslings<\/a>, born of\u00a0bitter law.<\/a>Lost in translation. French la m\u00e8re l’oie = l’am\u00e8re loi<\/span> The language of Goslings love puns, gauloiseries and ribaldry, as holiness\u00a0also does.<\/p>\n The medieval builders had other reasons to nominate small Goose including P\u00e9dauque meaning the\u00a0webbed foot of a goose, as we saw in Mother Goose. Back to our Goslings and their beautiful language.<\/p>\n This coded language is called slang, ie French argot. Several authors believe\u00a0that this word was a deformation\u00a0of\u00a0gothic art, ie French art goth, same prononciation.<\/p>\n The link between Gothic architecture\u00a0and slang \/ argot is too obvious to be ignored. However parentage is reversed: it is the Gothic expression that comes from the word argot, not the opposite. To me, the word argot\u00a0is Argoat, which is the Breton Forest. Why? We’ll see.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are Great Britain and Britanny. There are two Brittanies, Breiz Izel ie Low Britanny, and Breiz Uhel meaning High Britanny. But there are two other Britannies. Less known, quite secret indeed, they are called Armor and Argoat.<\/p>\n Armor\u00a0means\u00a0the Sea, the fisherman coast. Argoat means the Forest, the inland Britanny, wilder and mysterious. Because of this original forest, the slang \/ argot is also called the Green Language. Slang is green because cash and direct, using crude, trivial\u00a0words. But its images are strong.<\/p>\n Slang is also green since\u00a0it\u00a0is the language of the Little People of the forest, always dressed in green, like Pan and Peter Pan. The Argoat is inland Brittany, the vast forest that once occupied the whole center of Brittany, the giant forest of enchantments and spells, the legendary Mother Dark\u00a0Forest which remains today the Paimpont forest. All Breton forests harbor Margot fairies, Morrigans and witches, Korrigans, Goblins and other evil creatures. Or beneficial ones.<\/p>\n When building cathedrals, the medieval companions used\u00a0Gaelic and Breton. Word games were based on Breton slang ie\u00a0argoat or argot. Now I find out that many\u00a0European and Asian place names comes from Breton. As you can imagine,\u00a0such an unexpected discovery left me speechless.<\/p>\n Current Breton language was made in the 70s. This is a composite language, a mixture of several main Breton dialects. Purists complained, not without reason, that this neo-Breton was like nothing, especially far away from\u00a0their grandparents tasty dialects. There is a simple reason: the Briton people once used as many dialects as parishes or even chapels. I tell you\u00a0why.<\/p>\n Linguists distinguish two functions of language, exchange and secrecy. In ancient Brittany, while the language of the national or regional exchanges was French, Breton dialect was used as a secret code that only included the insiders, ie local people.<\/p>\n From\u00a0a bell tower to another, expressions were often different, and vocabulary too. Over the centuries, no one found\u00a0way\u00a0through this myriad of Breton dialects. And that was the aim. Moreover\u00a0Breton dialects were mixing with Gallo, which is French dialect\u00a0of\u00a0Haute Bretagne. To make universal Breton again, the Rennes university borrowed from two main Breton streams, the Vannes’\u00a0and the Paimpol’s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n That’s all\u00a0I knew about\u00a0the new Breton language,\u00a0taugth\u00a0to young Britons in Diwan schools. This language aroused my suspicion. That’s why\u00a0I was really\u00a0surprised when I heard this\u00a0recomposed Breton working quite like an initiatory language, and could provide the key to many of the linguistic singularities, in all Europe, North Africa and even Asia. As we know Britons are overseas travellers.<\/p>\n It seems that those who have developed this neo-Breton were wise, insiders probably inspired anyway. Unbeknownst to them, perhaps they made us the very ancient sacred language of Hyperborea. Bless them for that.<\/p>\n Linguistics have largely ignored the Breton -which in my opinion is all that remains of the Gaulois tongue- because linguistics study ancient languages mainly\u00a0through the texts. We have been living\u00a0for thousands of years in a civilization of writing. The Celts had remained faithful to the ancient oral tradition.<\/p>\n If the Gaulois tongue\u00a0was spoken throughout Gaul and beyond, it\u00a0was not written.<\/p>\n What\u00a0reinforced the initiatory side. On the other hand, almost all cathedral masters of works were Irish and Britons, so we find lot of loans to the Celtic languages in green tongue of insiders.<\/p>\n![\"mariage-auray-688po\"](\"https:\/\/eden-saga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mariage-auray-688po.jpg\" "\\"Noces")
