Sentences with GADHELIC (5)
CELTS AND CYMRY.--Thus, in undertaking the study of English literature, we must begin with the history of the Celts and Cymry, the first inhabitants of the British Islands of whom we have any record, who had come from Asia in the first great wave of western migration; a rude, aboriginal people, whose languages, at the beginning of the Christian era, were included in one family, the _Celtic_, comprising the _British_ or _Cambrian_, and the _Gadhelic_ classes.
CHANGES IN LANGUAGE.--The changes and transformations of language may be thus briefly stated:--In the Celtic period, before the arrival of the Romans, the people spoke different dialects of the Celtic and Gadhelic languages, all cognate and radically similar.
The _Goidelic_ or _Gadhelic_ group embraces Irish, Manx, and Gaelic; the _Brythonic_ group, Welsh, Breton, and Cornish.
Modern Celtic dialects are divided into two classes; (_a_) the Gallic or Ancient British, including the Welsh (Cymric), Cornish, and Armorican of Brittany; (_b_) the Galic, Gadhelic, or Erse, including the Irish (Fenic), the Highland Scottish (Gaelic), and Manx, the dialect of the Isle of Man.
