BRITANNIC, "P-celtic", "brythonic", "british", in [50=] Cymraeg (Welsh): brythoneg, in [50=] Gaeilge (Irish): briotanach, in [51=] Français: brittonique # the linguistic term 'Brythonic' avoids confusion with the modern political use of 'Britannic' (associated with the united crowns of England and Scotland), but it is appropriate to redefine 'Britannic' as originally applied to the Celtic communities (and Welsh-related languages) of the island of Great Britain. ⊕ originally covering most of the island of Great Britain (Clydeside... Cornwall), but now confined largely to Wales and (as a result of migration in the 1st Millennium) to Brittany. |
