The modern Brythonic languages all derive from a common ancestral language termed Common Brythonic, Old Brythonic or Proto-Brythonic, which is thought to have developed from the proto-Celtic language which was introduced to Britain from the middle second millennium BC (Hawkes, 1973).
Brythonic languages were then spoken at least in the whole of Great Britain south of the rivers Forth and Clyde, presumably also including the Isle of Man.
The Brythonic languages spoken in Scotland, the Isle of Man and England were displaced at the same time by Goidelic and Old English speaking invaders.

 Welsh language
Welsh (Cymraeg, y Gymraeg), not to be confused with the Welsh dialect of English, is a Brythonic branch of Celtic spoken natively in the western part of Britain known as 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 twentieth 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).
Welsh as a first language is largely concentrated in the less urban north and west of Wales, principally Gwynedd, Merioneth, Anglesey (Môn), Carmarthenshire, North Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, and parts of West Glamorgan, although first-language and other fluent speakers can be found throughout Wales.

 Gaelic / Goidelic - Language Directory
Goidelic languages were once restricted to Ireland, but in the 6th century Irish colonists and invaders began migrating to Scotland and eventually assimilated the Brythonic language speakers who lived there.
Manx, the former common language of the Isle of Man, is descended from the Gaelic spoken in north east Ireland and the now extinct Gaelic of Galloway (Scotland), with heavy influence from Old Norse because of the Viking invasions.
Goidelic languages may once have been common on the Atlanic coast of Europe and there is some evidence that they were spoken in the region of Galicia in modern Spain.

From Hildegard von Bingen's Lingua Ignota to Dante's Inferno and the babbling Nimrod to John Dee's Enochian and on, invented languages have smacked of religious ecstacy, necromancy, pathology, and the demonic.
Like Yaguello, he is given to some generalities: imaginary languages are 'infantile': 'the result is always [my emphasis] an "impoverishment" of the natural languages in question: reduced to a limited set of open vowels [he means "open syllables"], prone to syllabic reduplication and to excessive syntactical parallelisms and symmetries'.

 Brythonic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The displacement of the languages of Brythonic descent was probably complete in all of this territory (except Cornwall and the English counties bordering Wales) by the 11th century (date of extinction in various parts of the territory is debated).
There are many Brythonic place-names in lowland Scotland and in the parts of England where it is agreed that substantial Brythonic speakers remained (Brythonic names, apart from those of the former Romano-British towns, are scarse over most of England).
Brythonic elements found in England include bre- and bal- for hills, and carr for a high rocky place, while some such as coomb for a small deep valley and tor for a hill are examples of Brythonic words that were borrowed into English.

 LINGUIST List 14.2457: Language Description: Ball & Fife, eds. (2002)
One of the key issues for the modern Celtic languages is that numbers of speakers have been dwindling over the centuries; although there have been active attempts to revitalize each of the languages in the 20th-21st centuries, none of these languages are what linguists would call ''secure''.
As a generalization, the Celtic languages have been victims of governmental policies of the United Kingdom and France (Breton) which promoted the use of and education in one ''universal'' language.
Each of the chapters provides a chronology of language decline, detailed maps showing location of modern speakers, charts of census data, attitudes of residents towards attempts to increase usage of Celtic languages and a listing of situations in which a particular Celtic language may be used.

 Breton language
Breton (Brezhoneg) is a Celtic language spoken by some of the inhabitants of Brittany in France.
Breton is not thought to be a modern-day descendant of any continental Celtic language such as Gaulish, though evidently it has borrowed some features from it, but it is rather descended from insular Brythonic.
Breton, along with Cornish and Welsh, is a member of the Brythonic languages, a subgroup of the Insular subgroup of the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family.
