The main division in Breathanach dialects is between the more conservative dialects of Ibhirn to the west of the North Channel and the more innovative dialects to the east, in Caileadhóin.
Breathanach has 52 distinct phonemes (contrastive sounds), and as such is not an easy language for non-natives to pronounce.
Breathanach verbs are comparable in complexity with those of other Romance languages, more so in LN than in LF.

That would be consistent with an > early separation date from the rest of Romance: Sardinian may > have separated as early as the 1st century B.C. Some Southern > Italian dialects, oddly, have a Sardinian-type system as well.
I think the correspondence is reasonably close for about 60% of vowels, but that's an educated guess, since Irish spelling doesn't reflect the pronunciation terribly well, and my knowledge of Irish doesn't extend to speaking it.
The spelling of Breathanach is based on my original assumptions about Irish, with some Liotan influence.

This was one of the first sites I came across on conlangs and it is one of my favourite.
Geoff has written many of his own languages but I think Breathanach is best.
It is a combination of Latin and Scots Gaelic and, having an interest in Latin and being from Scotland, this appeals to me. He has also been kind enough to include a link to this site, so I am returning the favour.

 The evolution of Breathanach
Geoff's homepage -> Artificial Languages -> Breathanach -> Breathanach evolution
Occasionally it will be out of step with the main Breathanach page; if in doubt as to which is more recent, consult the "Last Update" dates.
Breathanach is derived from a variety of Latin closely related to the Vulgar Latin from which the other Romance languages developed, with the principal difference that the distinctions between long and short vowels were retained.

 The Kingdom: Printer Friendly Version   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The appearance of Scullion on Sunday, August 19 in Siamsa Tire in Tralee might be just such an occasion.
For the uninitiated Scullion are Philip King, Robbie Overson and Sonny Condell and they are joined on this national tour by bass player, Garvan Galllagher, fiddle virtuoso and composer Marie Breathanach and guitarist Gerry OÆBeirne.
The component parts of Scullion have aged gracefully since their break-up and music fans in Dingle can testify to this as only a couple of weeks ago Sonny Condell, the former songwriter with the band, performed in McCarthyÆs in solo mode.

It too is based on the premise of Romance language survival in Britain.
While Brithenig is spoken roughly in what we call Wales and Cornwall; Breathanach is spoken in Southwestern Scotland, in Galloway and thereabouts (old Gododdin and Strathclyde).
Wessisc is an unrelated, but neighbouring language, based on the premise that the native P-Celtic langauge of the Isle of Wight merged with the language of the Saxon invaders.

 Talk:Kemr - IBWiki
How do the speakers of Brithenig call Breathanach in their own language?
Would it perhaps be a suggestion to distinguish between Cambrian British (Brithenig Kemruis or something, Brithenig in short) and Scottish British (Brithenig Yscossuis???
Breathanach is probably called "Gwodaddein" or similar in Brithenig.
