<DIV>Dear Bart,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far as Breton is concerned, a written corpus of Breton literature is
being built by Stur. It is not accessible yet because they would like to provide
their own search toolkit and have not yet finished it. Guy Mercier and I are in
charge of preparing its spoken equivalent. Breton has a wide variety of
recordings (often of great interest but very poor sound quality) from
many different dialects. Very few transcriptions exist and those which do exist
are not machine-readable. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you are
interested.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
