@necrostic56 Celtic isn't a language, rather it refers to a group of related languages, like how 'Latin' or 'Germanic' refer to languages such as French and German respectively. There are two groups within Celtic languages, Q-Celtic: Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic and Manx, and P-Celtic; Welsh, Cornish and Breton. I speak Irish and can understand Scottish Gaelic and Manx with little problem but Welsh is impossible, some words, though it wouldn't be too hard to learn due to similar grammar, etc.
Hebrew might be the only reincarnated language at all. The Jews had a lot of literature, like ancient latin has. If an african or australian tribe dies out without a script, their language is lost forever.
@HesseJamez Actually other languages like Manx, Sanskrit, Hawaiian (almost dead but never really) and Cornish were all dead. But the only one that people truly speak in everyday life and has native speakers is Hebrew, I think.
Hebrew had no native speakers for 3000 years, but was always used by jews as a religious language like muslims use arabic, the language of the quran, even if their native tongue is turkish, malay or farsi.
A few houndred years before, the cathlics only spoke latin in church, which is still an official language in Vatican.
Hebrew became an official language by the foundation of Israel in 1948 though most Jews spoke yiddish - which -unfortunately - sounds like nazi-german.
@HesseJamez But doesn't that make Modern Hebrew (spoken today in Israel) alive, while Ancient Hebrew (from the Torah) dead? Because a dead language is one where there are no native speakers so no one can know exactly what it sounds like. Aren't they two different languages now?
No language in Europe is as endangered as some indigenous languages in other parts of the world. Every language in Europe has recordings and written material and has preservation movements.
The examples of Cornish and Manx proof that it is far not too late after the last native speaker had died if there are written material and/or recordings available and some people are left who are remembering pieces of the language.
@AlexderFranke But look at the dying languages in Northern Europe. There are lots of indigenous ethnic group whose languages are dying out. Most notably the Karelian language spoken by the Karelians in Finnland and the Sami language spoken through out Northern Europe and the Arctic region by the Sami people. And don't get me started on the Votic language spoken in Finnland, Estonia and Russia, only 20 speakers LEFT today!
By the way, I fully support linguistic diversity in the British Isles, when a language is lost so is the culture and ideals that went with it. Poetry, literature, even nuances within concepts and words themselves... all of these things reveal different meanings in the world and once lost can never be fully restored in the same way.
I would argue that Welsh/Cymraeg isn't a dying language, it's very widely spoken in north-west Wales and they can go through the entire education system, use Facebook, use public services and watch TV entirely in Welsh. Guernesiais (and its counterpart on Jersey) on the other hand, you sometimes hear very old folks speak it to each other but there's none of these things, not even a radio channel for it. More needs to be done to support it in communities!
@HerEyesWereWild You can say that with Cornish - There is not even Cornish signs in Cornwall and its not even taught in most schools !!!! Also there is no radio or TV channels for Cornish language !!!
@elviolette Welsh is only spoken by 25% of the population in wales. Very unlikely it would be the most spoken language in wales in the future, unless welsh speaking populations produce huge birth rates !!!!!
As we say in Irish "Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam" ;)

One can always speak a mainstream language as a second language. These days we all have to learn English anyway.
