"Revitalized" or "neo" Breton as a contested variety exhibits a number of features of a language which has been revitalized from the "bottom-up", including a lack of acceptance of certain neologisms, particularly those coined (it is claimed) from a "purist" or "nationalist" provenance. Here, we explore how these neologisms are contested through the prism of language ideology and how competing claims to Breton 'authenticity' are being played out in a variety of arenas, including internet fora
