Yes Breizh or Ya Breizh

Why Yes Breizh and not Ya Breizh? Explanations

from Yes Breizh
Published on Last updated on

Some people regret that we did not choose Ya Breizh, Oui Bretagne“ in Breton, rather than Yes Breizh. But our choice is neither a coincidence nor a rejection of the Breton language: it is natural, coherent and fully assumed.

First of all, “Yes” is universal. It's a word that everyone understands, conveying confidence, energy and support. It allows us to speak to the world without language barriers, from Brittany to Scotland, from Wales to Cornwall, and to the rest of the world.

The next step, Yes Breizh is part of an international family. Our Welsh friends have Yes Cymru, the Scots Yes Scotland, Cornish people Yes Kernow. We share the same democratic objectives, the same values and now the same visual identity. So our name is not the result of any strategic or philosophical thinking: it flows naturally from this partnership and is part of the common brand of Yes movements across the Celtic world.

Finally, this choice reflects a clear conviction: if Brittany is to progress, it must exist in the concert of nations, Yes Breizh is Brittany saying yes to the world, and the world learning to say yes to Brittany. Yes Breizh is Brittany saying yes to the world, and the world learning to say yes to Brittany.

Good evening Jean Pierre, and thank you for your reply. For Yes Breizh, there's no debate about reintegrating our southern department into the Brittany region. It's a prerequisite for building the future. This is one of the major issues that our committees are currently considering.
