Breeish refers to the language of the Bree-folk in MERP. In J. R. R. Tolkien's books the term used for this language is Bree-dialect (dialect of Westron), and the Bree-folk have archaic English names, but the place-names in Bree-land derive from Celtic elements in old English place-names (Cornish, Welsh or Cumbrian). For example:
- Archet (Corn. ar+chet "in (the) wood")
- Bree (Corn. bre "Hill")
- Chetwood (Corn. chet "wood"+engl. wood)
- Combe (Cumbr. cumb "bowl, valley")
- Crick (Wel. crug "heap, stack, mound")
- Staddle (OE. staeth "bank, waterside" or Wel. ystad "furlong, stadium")
Breeish is considered a rural form of Westron with some Iaurdaenael (or rather Branomaboic) loanwords while the older Brigaic or Archaic Breeish was a Branomaboic dialect of the Iaurdaenael.
