This heathenous map adds basque and catalan, welsh, scottish gaelic, but somehow erases breton and occitan.

Based on a pass with Google Translate from "The bishop is a chesspiece in chess", I think that Occitan is l'evesque and Breton eskob.

Evesque would be bishop, yea... I'm surprised it doesn't share the french word (jester)
