Armorician

/ɑːrməˈrɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A person who studies Armorica or is an expert in the history, culture, and language of the ancient Armorican region and its inhabitants.

Etymology

From 'Armorica' plus the agent suffix '-ian,' following the pattern of similar scholarly demonyms like 'historian' or 'grammarian.'

Kelly Says

Armorician scholars today focus heavily on preserving Breton language and culture—they're fighting against a centuries-long campaign of French cultural homogenization that nearly eliminated Celtic heritage from the region.
