Deunansek - Devonian

The Celtic language of Devon.... Yes, that's right, Devon.
Your resisdent Celtic enthusiast, SteCymru14, brings you yet another Celtic language. I must admit, I only found out it existed this afternoon. But I love the languages so much that I think they deserve videos.... and my God, they're gonna get them!
Hope you like this video, I will do more soon (on all the languages) with 'real' video and speech/pronounciation etc.
Like I said to the Cornish, DON'T LET A WELSHMAN KNOW MORE OF YOUR LANGUAGE THAT YOU DO!!!!

heyy wouldn't 'I speak' more likely be 'Lafaramh or lafaram', considering that the 'v/f' first person ending in Cornish and Welsh came from an 'm'? I believe it is 'n' in Breton?

[stecymru14]

Quite possibly. Good shout actually but I think with Devonian being a Brythonic language/dialect, and the -m / -mh being a Gaelic thing, I'd stick to the -f/-v. To be honest, it wouldn't change how you said the word anyway

[salfordsredarmy]

Deunansek?! Sounds Scandinavian or something...why not do a video about Cumbric? Another Brythonic language that existed in what became England!

[stecymru14]

I have :)

[brittanymodels]

dydh da en oll res ew skriva "DewnanTeg" dre ma an yeth dha Dewnans so un predenek gan "t" hag "S" hebed !

Although I like the goidelics too,as I love all Celtia, I confess the brittonic branch is my beloved one in the celtic tongues and to know there is another brittonic standing a chance to be revived,together with Cumbric, I feel happy and hopeful !

[Gwynsek]

Oh this is majestic,hope Devonian revives too !!!

Diolch am hynny. I never heard of this language until today, and watching this video, either. But it sounds rather similar to Welsh. By the way, I am an Englishman living in Hungary, but I did Welsh A level when I was living in Bangor.

So, when was this spoken, when did it die out, are there still any speakers? So many questions! (Deunansek sounds perfectly Celtic to me.)

@petitanglais you are still a fool celts dont exist wow here we all still are fool my fathers last name comes from gaul and i dont exist my mum 's last name over 1700 years old in ireland and we dont exist .Soon that witch you deserve will come to you FOOL,FRIESIAN ANGLE TRASH

[petitanglais]

@dagnab1 Hmm. Whales? I didn't know ocean-dwelling species were Celts. Maybe you should try going to school and learn to spell before you start trying to make comments. Presumably you should also leave Wales too as you aren't a Celt because Celts don't exist anymore (see above discussion, read, learn, understand and then disappear). Celtic languages, yes, very much so, Celtic people, nah. I do pity people who are too blinded by internal identity issues to understand facts of life.
