Celtic Languages
Branch of the Indo-European family, divided into two groups: the Brythonic or P-Celtic (Welsh language, Cornish, Breton, and Gaulish) and the Goidelic or Q-Celtic (Irish, Scottish, and Manx Gaelic languages). Celtic languages once stretched from the Black Sea to Britain, but have been in decline for centuries, limited to the so-called ‘Celtic fringe’ of western Europe.
All Celtic languages are generally in decline despite the efforts of broadcasters, ‘revitalist’ organizations, and pressure groups. The most notable efforts have been in Welsh (see Welsh Language).
