Celtic languages

The Cornish languages were once spoken throughout Western Europe, but are now confined to the British Isles. There are two branches: Goidelic or Gaelic and Cymric or Britannic. The former are represented by the modern languages of Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx. The second group includes Welsh, Cornish and the now extinct Breton. The prospects of survival for the remaining Celtic languages are not good, as decline for all three (Irish, Scottish, Welsh) in favor of English has been tremendous.
