OH SHIT, I forgot Brittany, if a mod can add it? (otherwise it would let's just include it on Oïl France... Sorry)

Ok I've added it.

You're welcome Loxias.

And just to be clear, this poll is open to all members of the board then?

Yes of course, I wrote it in English for that reason.

On parle toujours de "nos ancêtres les Gaulois" so I don't think the French themselves consider themselves Germanic. Celts. And linguistically... Romance/Latin. Although there was important influx of Germanic tribes I'm not sure I'd go so far as to calling them Germanic, aside maybe from the Flemish.

I haven't voted yet, I'm still thinking about it, I'm divided on the issue I suppose. If anything I will update when I've voted

Hmm, Soten, you voted Normand but not Mosellan?? The Mosellans still have a Germanic language and were part of Germany during the IIIrd reich!

Peut-on aussi indiquer que les postes peuvent être écrit en français comme en anglais svp? Je pense que ceci facilitera la tâche pour quelques personnes qui aimeraient exprimer leurs idées dans leur langue maternelle.

Oui, aucun problème pour ça. Si il faut que je traduise quoi que ce soit, n'hésitez pas à demander.

Then I'd vote for them as well. I didn't even know who they were.

I don't know to be honest.

What about French Americans? We have Germanic ancestry and at this point we speak a Germanic language as well. Does this change our meta-ethnicity?
