description In the 1950s, the vast majority of the Breton population stopped bringing up their children in Breton, paving the way for linguistic change. However, since the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of people have been working to ensure that the Breton language is reclaimed by the people of Brittany. Today, young parents who have learned Breton within their own families or, more often, at school or through adult education, are choosing to speak Breton to their children. It's a minority phenomenon, but one that does exist and is attracting interest from people concerned about the future of the Breton language. The aim of this article is to describe the communication strategies of parents who speak Breton exclusively, regularly or occasionally with their children, and to analyse the parents' views on these strategies. Two key questions guide this review: How do parents address their children in Breton? Do parents ask their children to speak Breton to them?
