Under "History and status," fourth paragraph: Change "In the early 21st century, due to the political centralization of France, the influence of the media, and the increasing mobility of people, only about 200 thousand people can speak Breton..." to ..."there are only about 200 thousand active speakers of Breton, a dramatic decline from more than a million in 1950." Cite the Ofis ar Brehzonig, which distinguished between "active" and "passive" speakers of Breton (225,000 active, 125,000 passive in 2018).

Under "Revival efforts," change for clarity: "They taught a few thousand young people from elementary school to high school" to "Since their establishment, Diwan schools have provided fully immersive primary school and partially immersive secondary school instruction in Breton for thousands of students across Brittany. This has directly contributed to the growing numbers of school-age speakers of Breton." Make the same edit under "Education," but edit the following sentences in the paragraph for flow and grammatical accuracy.

In the introduction to the article, add that neither Breton nor Gallo, the other regional language of Brittany, are nationally recongnized by the French state.

In the last paragraph of "History and Status" which discusses modern advancements in Breton's acceptance by the government, add that Breton baby names were legalized in 1993, citing the Endangered Language Alliance.
