Noun CEFR C1

Definitions

A Brittonic feature of a language.

Examples

“There are number of obvious Brittonicisms in the Latin, and this perhaps has something to do with the fact that the source cited is a layman -- a cyfarwydd perhaps, doing a job for the Church without demanding his customary payment.”
“That in learning the Old English language these Britons engaged in a fair amount of simplification or modeling, with the result that simplifications or Brittonicisms, which often amount to the same thing, were introduced into and became predominant in the lower-class speech of Brittonic areas, which included most of the country.”
