For the moment I am starting with trying to identify such drifts:
#Goidelic k / c → #Brythonic p e.g. #Irish / #Scots ceann “head” vs Welsh pen
Brythonic gw‑ → Goidelic f‑ e.g. Welsh gwyn “white” vs Irish/Scots fionn
s‑ in Goidelic → h‑ in Brythonic sean “old” vs hen
I have to check

Bit reminiscent of the いろは in a very Goidelic sort of way 😜 Does that amount of metrics not lead to some very strange language? Just curious

In nearby Buckland Monachorum, another stone was found being used in a blacksmith's, inscribed, '(The stone) of Sabinus, son of Maccodechetus.' Sabinus is a Latin name, while his father’s is Goidelic (early Irish).

To be fair, the Goidelic languages do at least also have mutation (though of course the details don't map on to the Brythonic ones), whereas the broad/slender distinction just doesn't figure in Brythonic!

So, I want to be completely clear, because I speak Deutsch, la Fracais, and Goidelic I could be deported?

it's kind of confusing: currently the six languages that still exist are split up thus: welsh, cornish, and breton are brittonic/"brythonic" and gaelic, irish, and manx are goidelic (the groups are all pretty visually similar), but where they split off and how they were originally related is still

Hi sorry by this do you mean one of the descendents of the Brythonic languages - Welsh, Cornish, or Breton? Or the wider insular Celtic groups including the Goidelic languages? And PS the British isles (terminology that preexists the UK by millenia) and the largest of which is Great Britain.

Contrasting withershins/widdershins with clockwise is a bit clunky. Sunwise would be better.
I sometimes see the Wicca folk contrasting widdershins with deosil, which is mixing your Brittonic with your Goidelic, but harmless enough.

original languages the British Isles around 400 BC were Celtic languages, such as Brythonic and Goidelic. These languages were spoken by the ancient Celtic peoples, including those in what is now the UK, Ireland, and other parts of Europe. English, as we know it today #Europe

Coming from East Anglia we have maybe a dozen relict Goidelic or Brythonic place-names left visible, such was the sweep through the area of the Romans, Angles, the Danes and then the Normans. The River Ouse being the most obvious remainder.

Every now and then I remember that, in a cosmic example of Emergent Francophobia the ogham letter for the diphthong "ui" is shaped like a little curly moustache.
Like what's good proto-goidelic peoples, u gonna make a letter for "HONHONHON" shaped like a baguette or something

Irish, Scottish Gaelic & Manx = Goidelic
Welsh, Breton & Cornish = Brythonic
Gaulish, Lepontic & Celtiberian = extinct mainland tongues
Linguists call them “Celtic,” but that’s a modern label The living languages all come from the Atlantic Let’s start calling it Atlantic culture, not Celtic fantasy

The word Goidelic comes from the Old Irish word Goídel, which roughly meant “Irish person” or “Gael.” It was Latinized as Goidelus, and later Anglicized into Gael or Goidel.

Goidelic (Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx) and Brythonic (Welsh, Breton, Cornish).

Brittonic is not included or considered Gaelic.
However, Brittonic* and Gaelic* are two branches of the Celtic tree. I guess it sort of makes sense?
Irish, Gaelic and Manx (apparently) are Goidelic languages (I'm about to fall down a hell of a rabbit hole)
*each has various distinct languages

5. I simply think that the Celtic languages are fascinating. They are divided into the goidelic (irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx) and brythonic (Breton, Cornish, Welsh) branches

Gaelic (both Irish and Scottish Gaelic) are Goidelic, not Brittonic. The indigenous population (again, as far as we can tell) of Ireland were Gaels, not Britons. The Irish people are not, and never have been, a British people.
