Wikifunctions:Type proposals/Breton mutation

• Done Z27971 --DVrandecic (WMF) (talk) 18:56, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Note: I changed the name to "Celtic mutation" as per comment below (which I found convincing) and added an alias "Breton mutation", but feel free to change that again. It's just a label. --DVrandecic (WMF) (talk) 18:56, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm pinging @VIGNERON asking for a review. Dv103 (talk) 08:55, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

•  Support it seems like a good idea, just wondering if we should limit it to Breton as mutation are similar in other languages, especially Celtic ones (welsh, Irish, etc.). Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 10:01, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

  I think that, as always, this type can be used by any language that has exactly these 5 mutations. Dv103 (talk) 10:18, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

  @VIGNERON Does nasal mutation happen in Breton? Dv103 (talk) 11:48, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

  @Dv103: only in a very few words (and only one common word "door, a door : dor, an nor") but it's more common in other Celtic languages. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 12:48, 19 August 2025 (UTC)

•  Support Looks good. Perhaps use a language-independent name and then Breton as an alias. --99of9 (talk) 07:13, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
