Celtic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family, traditionally spoken by the Celtic peoples in parts of Western Europe. This language family is divided into two main groups: Goidelic and Brythonic. Goidelic languages include Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Manx, while Brythonic languages include Welsh, Breton, and Cornish. Celtic languages are characterized by unique grammatical features, such as initial consonant mutations, and a rich system of inflection. They have deep historical and cultural significance, with vibrant oral traditions and literature. The study of Celtic languages provides insights into the history, culture, and identity of the Celtic peoples, as well as their survival and revitalization efforts in modern times.
