OK. What's this one?

Breton is spoken in Lower Brittany, It comes from a Celtic language community between Great Britain and Armorica (present-day Brittany), and even Galicia.
The modern-day language most closely related to Breton is Cornish, followed by Welsh.

huh...............

Word expressing doubt or confusion.
Huh? Where did they go?

Word used to reinforce a question.
Where were you last night? Huh?

Huh! I'm sure I locked it when I left.
