‘welsh name’ –> ieithoedd brythonaidd (/ prydeinig)
‘cornish name’ –> yethow brythonek/predennek
‘breton name’ –> yezhoù predenek
.
(the ‘brittonic languages’ form 1 (of 2) branches of the ‘insular celtic language family’)
(the 2nd group is ‘the goidelic languages’)
.
(the name brythonic was derived by welsh celticist ‘john rhys’ from the welsh word brython, meaning an ‘indigenous briton’ (as opposed to an ‘anglo-saxon’ or ‘gael’))
(the name brittonic derives ultimately from the name Πρεττανική (/ prettanike), recorded by ‘greek authors’ for the ‘british isles’)
(the ‘brittonic languages’ derive from the ‘common brittonic language’, spoken throughout ‘great britain’ south of the ‘firth of forth’ during the Iron Age and Roman period.
In addition, North of the Forth, the Pictish language is considered to be related; it is possible it was a Brittonic language, but it may have been a sister language.
In the 5th and 6th centuries emigrating Britons also took Brittonic speech to the continent, most significantly in Brittany and Britonia.
During the next few centuries the language began to split into several dialects, eventually evolving into Welsh, Cornish, Bretonand Cumbric.
Welsh and Breton continue to be spoken as native languages, while a revival in Cornish has led to an increase in speakers of that language.
Cumbric is extinct, having been replaced by Goidelic and English speech.
The Isle of Man and Orkney may also have originally spoken a Brittonic language, later replaced with a Goidelic one.
(due to ’emigration’, there are also communities of ‘brittonic language speakers’ in ‘england’ / ‘france’ / ‘y wladfa‘)
*’y wladfa’ is a ‘welsh settlement’ in ‘patagonia’*
