François Falcʼhun

François Falcʼhun (20 April 1901 – 13 January 1991) was a French linguist known for his theories about the origin of the Breton language. He was also an ordained Canon in the Catholic clergy.

Falcʼhun was professor at the Universities of Rennes and Brest. Contrary to the mainstream opinion of linguists, Falcʼhun took the view that Breton was derived from the Gaulish form of Continental Celtic, rather than from the Brythonic Celtic that were introduced by British migrants. He was accused of using linguistics to promote a French nationalist political agenda. Provided by Wikipedia
