Also notable are the extinct language Cumbric, and possibly the extinct Pictish (although the late Kenneth H. Jackson argued during the 1950s, from some of the few remaining examples of Pictish, that Pictish was a non-Indo-European language, the majority of modern scholars of Pictish do not agree).

Goidelic languages may once have been common on the Atlantic coast of Europe and there is evidence that they were spoken in the region of Galicia in modern Spain and Portugal, around Marseille, at the head waters of the Seine, in the Celtic heartlands of Switzerland, Austria and so on, and in Galatia.
Welsh (Cymraeg or y Gymraeg), not to be confused with Welsh English (the English language as spoken in Wales), is a member of the Brythonic branch of Celtic spoken natively in Wales (Cymru), and in the Chubut Valley, a Welsh immigrant colony in the Patagonia region of Argentina.
Although Welsh is a minority language, and thus threatened by the dominance of English, support for the language grew during the second half of the 20th century, along with the rise of nationalist political organisations such as the political party Plaid Cymru and Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg (the Welsh Language Society).

 Cumbric - reviving the lost language of Celtic Cumbria
Cornish became extinct in the 18th century, but sufficient written records remained for the language to be reconstructed, and a revival is now underway.
The last vestiges of the language survived into the 20th century as folk memories of Celtic numbers used by Cumbrian shepherds for counting sheep and in children's games.
However it may be possible to construct earlier bardic forms of Cumbric, for when the Cumbric kingdoms were eventually overrun it appears that their culture and literature found a new home in Wales, with the poetry of the two major Cumbric poets Aneirin and Taliesin being preserved by the Welsh bards and monks.
