Celtic and Gaelic Language and Translation
The Celtic languages, members of the family of Indo-European languages, disappeared from continental Europe in the late 5th century, but they are still spoken by many people in the British Isles and in Brittany. Continental Celtic, or Gaulish, is preserved mainly in brief inscriptions. Insular Celtic is divided into two branches--Goidelic (also called Gaelic), including Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx; and Brythonic (also called British), including Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. Manx and Cornish, once nearly extinct, experienced revivals in the 20th century. Below are links to the Celtic and Gaelic languages.
