The Celtic languages are a group of related languages descended from Proto-Celtic. They form a branch of the Indo-European language family.
Irish (Gaeilge), Manx (Gaelg ), and Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) form the Goidelic languages, while Welsh (Cymraeg ), Cornish (Kernowek), and Breton (Brezhoneg) are Brittonic. All of these are Insular Celtic languages, since Breton, the only living Celtic language spoken in continental Europe, is descended from the language of settlers from Britain. There are a number of extinct but attested continental Celtic languages, such as Celtiberian, Galatian, and Gaulish. Beyond that, there is no agreement on the subdivisions of the Celtic language family. They may be divided into P-Celtic and Q-Celtic.
Ethnologue lists six living Celtic languages, of which four have retained a substantial number of native speakers. These are the Goidelic languages (Irish and Scottish Gaelic, both descended from Middle Irish) and the Brittonic languages (Welsh and Breton, both descended from Common Brittonic).
The other two, Cornish (Brittonic) and Manx (Goidelic), died out in modern times with their presumed last native speakers in 1777 and 1974 respectively. For both these languages, however, revitalization movements have led to the adoption of these languages by adults and children and produced some native speakers.
Taken together, roughly one million native speakers of Celtic languages as of the 2000s. In 2010, there were more than 1.4 million speakers of Celtic languages.
