Nah they're all bloody foreigners - but cool on account of the good
food. Y Freinck / y Gheil _are_ the names for the French.  They're
used somewhat interchangeably, but y Gheil is preferred by most
speakers on traditional grounds.

The difference in naming is for the Bretons, who aren't really foreign
because they came from Britain and speak a language very close to
Kerno even though they live in France. They're called y Vreton (sing.
Bretu).  Strangely enough, they live in Pays y Bretonnes.
