Celtic languages
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
The Celtic languages are a language family inside of the Indo-European languages. Originally they were spoken in Europe. There are six Celtic languages still spoken in the world today. They are divided into two groups, the Goidelic (or Gaelic) and the Brythonic (or British).
The three Gaelic languages still spoken are Irish, Scottish, and Manx.
The three Brythonic languages are Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. Of these Cornish and Manx became extinct in the 18th and 20th centuries but have been revived in recent decades. Breton is the only Celtic language not mainly spoken in the British Isles.
Scottish Gaelic also has a native community of speakers in Canada where it was once very widely spoken, and there are Welsh speakers in Patagonia, Argentina.
