- What language is spoken in Bretonnnia ?

Most Bretonnian speak Breton, the Bretonnian dialect of Old Worlder. In the province of Navarre in the south of Bretonnia, the Languedoc dialect is often preferred though.

- Can my Imperial character understand Breton ?

According to the rulebook page 291, he can understand Breton at least to a certain extent. The same is true for all dialects of Old-Worlder.
The GM should feel free to interpret this rule as he sees fit.

- What does Breton sound like ? 
(See Rulebook page 275) Breton sounds like French ! Using a few French words and speaking with a fake French accent should do the job well enough.

- And what about Languedoc ?
Languedoc sounds like a mix of Estalian and Breton. This ancient dialect is in use in Navarre and in the Estalian kingdoms of the Irrannas.

- What name should I give my Bretonnian character ?
Check out our list of Bretonnian names. We use historical French name tweaking them a bit to make them sound more archaic.
