Preder launches an on-line dictionary that is intended to become the workspace of networked Breton linguists.

The association Preder (voir le site) with the cooperation of Agence Bretagne Presse launched an on-line Breton dictionary based on previous Preder publications of Breton specialized dictionaries written by linguists such as Guy Étienne or Yann Baol An Noalleg.

Some of these dictionaries are Breton-French-English making the text trilingual in some instances. More dictionaries will be integrated including a generalist one. The result is already an extraordinary compilation of modern technical and business breton terms that challenges the preconceived idea that the Breton language orginated with and is tied to an agrarian society that will disappear with this agrarian society.

Behind the new on-line dictionary there is a huge database that is going to be used by networked linguists to modify and create new definitions directly online via the Internet. To be sure that anybody can access the shared data and easily translate Breton, French and English terms, Preder has accepted to give access to all students and friends of the Breton language.
