.bzh (dotBZH) is a proposed top-level domain for sites about the Breton culture and language. The campaign was initiated following the successful introduction of .cat for the Catalan-speaking community. The .cat domain is officially reserved for those websites which "highlight Catalan language and culture".
A campaign was organized in Brittany to support the request of creation of the .BZH. The campaign's website gives little information about the status of the proposal and the organization behind and mostly holds a petition for the creation of the domain. As of October 2007 there are over 15,000 signatories.
