What happens when Wiktionary becomes a reference against its own will? When discussing the sources of our project it becomes clear that they aren't at all structured like on Wikipedia. We don't share the same attitude towards original research and could even count as a source ourselves. Well, actually we're doing this already. And I can prove it with the little dictionary of the month. A pocket reference which gives an overview of “French vocabulary borrowed from Gaulish, Breton and the Celtic languages”. Yann Lukas shows us some familiar words and some with an unexpected Celtic origin. He suggests Celtic roots for some slang words where standard dictionaries are lost: à dache, loufer, morfal and many more.
