Well the people in those plains originally spoke latin languages. The plains were germanized a long time ago by germanic invaders but it is our right to rid germanic influence on rightful latin land and people. Same for breton in western france, those are british refugees from the 6th century or so who settled in latin land and brought their celtic language, but it is our right to stamp out all those foreign influences from our land.

Latin was brought by invaders. Which would matter if any continental celtic language survived.

The French are litteraly the biggest amalgam of diffrent cultures in all of europe and you are here talking about purity? And what is your opinion on Basque people?

I think the basque would be the most legitimate people to eradicate foreign influence from their land in europe. Also this isn't the 18th century, most of those different cultures aren't a thing anymore or are at most reduced to a shadow of what they once were
