1) Breton name of Brittany, one of the 6 celtic nations.
The languages spoken there are : Breton, Gallo and French.
Divided into nine countries ("bro(ioù)") : Bro-Gwened, Bro-Naoned, Bro-Roazhon, Bro-Zol, Bro-Sant-Maloù, Bro-Sant-Brieg, Bro-Gernev, Bro-Dreger and Bro-Leon
2) Breton name of the french region of Brittany. It's the same territory except that after the french revolution, the french began to completly disrespect breton people and their culture. They first divided it into 5 départements (Morbihan, Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique, Côte-d'Armor and Finistère), and after WWII they decided that Loire-Atlantique didn't belong to region of Brittany anymore..., Also, for many years they forbade Breton and Gallo languages. Now it's allowed to talk Breton or Gallo but those languages are not "officially acknowledged" and the whole breton culture is still disrespected/not even acknowledged. Some Bretons consider themselves as french, some say they're both french and breton and some don't want to be called french. So when somebody say they're Breton, telling things like "It's in France" or "So you're french" is quite offending, just like telling welsh they're english.
3)Brittany (The nation) is sometimes called Breizh in other languages than breton to differentiate it from the french region or, in english, to make the name easier to differenciate from britain. It can also be written Breizh or Breih. the diminutive form for "Breizh" is "Bzh".

Get the L' Breighntaughn mug.Breightmet is a beautiful area of Bolton which was formerly known as Bright Meadow. In the 80’s & 90’s Breightmet had a fierce reputation for being rough & tough. Those days are long gone with no go zones such as Great Lever or the nearby inbred village of Little Lever taking the lead. Breightmet is a sprawling area which officially begins at the traffic lights on Bury Rd/junction with Crompton Way and stretching up the hill to Newby Rd encompassing Bolton St Catherine’s Academy (formerly Withins School, God bless Mr Makin) right over to the affluent Somerton Rd estate on the border with Bury.
Breightmet has always had many shops for e.g Breightmet Electrics, Ace Video Club, Ashe & Nephew, Safeway’s, Breightmet Wine Shop, Dots Chippy & R Peers - Ironmongers to name but a few.
Modern day Breightmet brings investment from Morrison’s, Home Bargains, Iceland, Aldi & Greehalghs.
Breightmet is home to the legend Mr Malcolm Pittock, Anti War Campaigner & all round decent man who has for decades ran up and down Bury Rd wearing a crash helmet. Salute Sir.
Breightmet is also known as B.met B/met
Please note Breightmet is not to be confused with Top O’th Brow (AKA T.O.B)
