With his death on 9 December 2021, the Basque Country loses a native speaker of Souletin and an ardent defender of the Basque language, and at the Academy of Gallo we lose a friend.
In memory of our work with Allande SOCARROS, of the pleasure we had to work together, we propose you to see again these 2 Basque/Gallo texts, with their English or French subtitles, about the ancient Basque beliefs.
Agur, Allande ! / A revoêr Allande !
Part of our work took us to the Archives municipales de Fougères and there we found Gallo treasures!
We have discovered a columnist who signed his Gallo posts in La Chronique républicaine, a newspaper of the Fougères region, under the pseudonym of Jean du Nançon.
Thanks to the very concrete help of the Chronique républicaine, which still exists - it is one of the oldest media in France - we have information that we will soon publish in a new space, still dedicated to Gallo.
In the meantime, we invite you to discover the notes of La Chronique républicaine, the pagination of the 1949 version which shows the importance given to the Gallo note, and of course, the full text "le cocotieu" in the "maet a livrs du carrouje".
Enjoy your discovery!
With the end of year festivities coming up, we offer you a bit of lightness with our games in the School of Gallo.
You will find new word search puzzles, one of which will certainly bring you back to our pages dedicated to Paul Vimereu.
And don't forget that our hangman's game is practically inexhaustible: it draws its words randomly from our Gallo/French dictionary, which contains over 11,000 words to date. And this number is growing every week!
Have fun in the play area of the School of Gallo!
Although predominantly oral, the history of our country shows that Gallo has nevertheless been significantly used by various writers.
By studying and re-reading Gallo in old publications, we wanted, as Jules GROS said for Breton, to "save from oblivion [...] these riches" of our language transmitted by writers.
By creating the new "Gallo in Old Publications" section in our Linguistic Files, we aim to bring out of oblivion both writers, often renowned in their time, and Gallo terms and expressions used in our past. To inaugurate this new area, we invite you to discover Paul VIMEREU, an exceptional author in many ways, and our collection of Gallo terms and expressions that we have found in his works.
Enjoy discovering the Gallo heritage!
La Paije tourney is enriched with a new extract from a world-famous work that we have just translated into Gallo.
Today, we chose an extract of "A la recherche du temps perdu" by Marcel PROUST.
Beyond the author's memories, the work is a reflection on literature, memory and time.
In this extract we rediscover, in Gallo, the moment when Proust wondered what the piece of madeleine he had just eaten reminded him of.
Happy reading!
Today we return to the History of Brittany with the Duke Alaen III.
Come and sail in the Breton history thanks to our interactive list of kings, dukes and duchesses of Brittany.
The writing of Gallo has been a long story which ended up converging on the standardisation known as "ABCD", an acronym for its authors Régis AUFFRAY, André BIENVENU, André LE COQ and Patrik DERIANO.
The Academy of Gallo has continued this standardisation effort by producing and disseminating, in various sheets of its linguistic files, the missing graphemes in the "ABCD" writing, in particular the feminine and masculine endings, the long vowels as well as a few graphemes to take into account the main local variations.
In order to facilitate the rapid appropriation of the standardised writing of Gallo and its pronunciation, you will find in the School of Gallo, two new features which show, for each of the 35 graphemes, the pronunciation of an example in the 10 major local variations as well as the standard pronunciation recommended by the Academy of Gallo for the best oral inter-comprehension with new Gallo speakers.
Enjoy your listening!
Following the remark of an Internet user on the defect of display of the maps, we quickly treated the technical incompatibility whose origin was the passage of the site in "https".

Michel FELTIN-PALAS, editor-in-chief of the newspaper L'Express, publishes a weekly newsletter on various languages, their particular uses, their etymologies and histories, and of course the major news concerning them, such as the recent law tabled by the deputy Paul MOLAC, which has had a great impact throughout France.

We are taking advantage of this summer period to apply some technical evolutions to our Dictionary System in order to support future functionalities.
To make sure that these evolutions do not remain purely technical, we have added a new interconnection with the Ecole du Gallo grammar cards.
In summary, for a word you can (*) find: ▪ its sound version, ▪ an illustration, ▪ depending on its nature, one or more links to a text in the library or to a "common" card (geographical dictionary of Brittany), ▪ depending on its grammatical type, there may be a link to a grammar sheet or to the automatic conjugator of Gallo verbs.
Don't forget that a request for the translation of a word submitted from the dictionary only concerns one word and you can follow its processing in the le Petit Carrouje ("Dez demandes depeis le motier" section).
If you wish to translate a list of words or a short text, please use the Carrouje tools (le Petit Carrouje (first sections sections) or le Coin de l'écriture "aides à l'écriture en gallo" section).
Have a good use of the dictionary!
For this summer, we have produced and put online 2 well known games but we have revised them in our own way:
▪ in the series of word games, in Gallo of course, a game in particular that will take you on a journey through the History of Brittany;
▪ the hangman game is a classic but ours randomly draws a Gallo word from the online dictionary: the game can last for an almost infinite time!
In the series of summer works, we revised the whole system of the Communes Dictionary to allow new inteconnections with our other tools.
To ensure that the operation does not remain purely technical, we have taken the opportunity to add a new function and some new data.
Have a good discovery!

Yves DONGUY, who died in 2020, had bequeathed his entire estate to the association Bretagne Vivante, of which he was a long-time member. Among these assets was an important body of work on the Gallo language.
So that these works are neither forgotten nor lost, François de BEAULIEU, from the association Bretagne Vivante, contacted us to know if we could appraise them and put them in value so that the greatest number of people can access them.
In addition to the honor of being recognized for our work, it is with great pleasure that we will have at heart to perpetuate the linguistic work of Yves DONGUY by starting to publish it here before the end of the year.
Thanks to François de BEAULIEU and Bretagne Vivante for their trust!

The Atlas Linguistique et ethnologique de la Bretagne Romane, de l’Anjou et du Maine, better known under its acronym ALBRAM, is the result of a major CNRS project launched in the 1980s.
