Mission
One of its missions is to scientifically deal with socio-linguistic data. It must therefore act as an observatory of the Breton language (Arsellva ar brezhoneg) by publishing these data, and it must advise communes for bilingual signage and place names. It is the support of TermBret, the cooperative terminology service which publishes glossaries as specialty. Finally, it assists individuals, administrations and businesses who want to use the Breton language (42 administrations, associations or companies have made an appeal from 1 July 1999 to September 15, 1999).

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.”
—Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson, Objective Burma, giving a subaltern a mission (1945)
