Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how gallo appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
L’usage du breton progresse d’ouest en est jusqu’à la fin du IXᵉ siècle, sans toutefois atteindre Rennes et Nantes. Il recule ensuite lentement vers l’ouest, la limite linguistique se stabilisant au XIVᵉ siècle. On distingue dès lors la Basse-Bretagne, « bretonnante », de la Haute-Bretagne, avec son dialecte de langue d’oïl dit « gallo ».
