The Celtic languages are a group of languages on northern Europe that are descendents of the Indo- European family of languages. These languages developed from the language of the Celts, a warlike civilization originating in the eastern part of central Europe, in the northern Alps, and along the Danube during the Bronze Age. The Celts reached the height of their civilization during the Iron Age in the last five centuries B.C., and then fanned out from their original homeland into many parts of continental Europe and across the channel and into the British Isles. Celtic languages were spoken in much of western Europe during Pre- Roman and Roman times. Places names of Celtic origin can be found today all over British Isles and France, in northern Spain and Italy, and in Switzerland and parts of Germany.
Rather than one language, the Celtic languages consists of two distinct clusters: the Gaelic group and the Brythonic group. These two clusters of languages most likely developed from dialects of the same language, the language of the Celts in their original homeland. These two dialects were the most likely mutually intelligible to some degree as late as the fourth century. The Gaelic group of Celtic language consists of Irish, Scottish, and Manx, the language of the Isle Man. The Brythonic group of Celtic languages includes Welsh, Cornish, Breton, and Gaulish, the language of Gaul prior to the days of the Roman Empire, with its Latin- speaking population.
Many, though not all, of the Celtic language are either extinct or are on the process of becoming extinct. Gaulish apparently disappeared around 600 A.D. Cornish and Manx both actually became revived and are now taught in a few schools each. Scottish, Irish and Breton are all declining in use. There are under a hundred thousand speakers of Scottish Gaelic, mostly on the northern Hebridean Islands; there are more than a hundred thousand speakers of Irish, mainly in the western counties of Ireland; there are about a half million speakers who use Breton on a daily basis. In all these situations, though, the rate of transmission to new generations is low, and this does not bode  well for the survival of these languages. Of all Celtic languages, perhaps only Welsh has a strong hold on the future.
