I reply a bit later. I was absent during the one month after my last reply and I forgot this thread.

Contrary to Breton language, not many people care about Gallo, except a minority. Furthermore often the proponents of Gallo also speak Breton, I've met them before.
I've no luck, there was a map on the site that I posted which showed the attachment of people to Dol, St-Malo or St-Nazaire to the Breton language.
Why this ? The Breton language became after some decades the lingua franca in the Breton movement (cultural and politic). Gallo reminds for people may be the frenchization and contrary to the Scot in Scotland, he never had an importance like it (the Scot).
And after all, I will not blame eastern Breton who try to revive the "celticity" in eastern Brittany with the Breton, their old language before the romanization was near to Briton. It's not like it was a kind of "Celtic imperialism".
