Celtic languages
Irish and Welsh
Celtic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family, divided into two groups: Goidelic (Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx) and Brythonic (Welsh, Breton, Cornish).
Once spoken across much of Europe, they now survive mainly in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany.
Several are endangered; Welsh and Irish have the most speakers today.
