Geriadur Brezhoneg an Here is the only monolingual breton dictionary.
[edit] History
- Roparz Hemon had started writing on his own, in the 1960's, a Geriadur broadel (National Dictionary), but could not finish it. He had started with letter onward but did not go further than T. His was the first attempt in this field.
- Geriadur brezhoneg An Here was published in 1995. It contains 10 000 words with examples and idioms. It is the first monolingual Breton dictionary edited in Breton, an important tool for students, teachers and writers.
This work suffered a rough campaign of attacks from the French press in 2000, one year before a second and bigger version was about to be published.
- Geriadur brezhoneg An Here, An Here, 2001. It is the second edition of the title, and contains 20 000 words.
This work was totally ignored by French press, as they could not find any reason of attacking it.
