I've started a facebook group for those who want to learn more of ancient British, its still not ready but I'm working on it . The most obvious thing you'll notice about the British used on the group (like the example above) is that I've reformed the spelling system of the language to make it seem less "latin-esque" and give it its own distinctive appearance.

imí labarion en Brittānícon senon
Me speaking Ancient British

Transcript:

búta slānos ac swos, mewí carantes.
estí mewos anman Wailíakú Dracōngnātos
pe imí labarion en brittānícon senon
iaxtes mewí tōtí, brittāní sení
dagé, biamí pelātrion* alías vlōgús en brittānícon
sindos estí centus emónon
dagos ac swos** towú welatú
pe búta boudis ac swos

*pelātrion, or rather pelātris means "post" as in a wooden post, not the verb "to post". The dictionary I used didn't distinguish between the two.
**I said dagos agate here, but it should be dagos ac swos

  • ...Also, bear in mind that there was no single Brythonic language that was spoken throughought the British Isles... From my understandings, Brythonic was a language of dialects, many not fully mutually intelligible - similar to how a strongly colloquially speaking North Walian will struggle to understand a South Walian (and vice versa) today.

  • Its probably because of those many dialects that you as a welsh speaker couldn't understand much. Here I've tried to reconstruct the (south) eastern dialect, so it would have contained words not found in the western welsh/cornish dialect, though some words here were the same (i.e. "emi" "I am" > wyf, "anman" "name" > enw)

  • Its similar to how I as a native English speaker can barely understand anything said in Old English.

  • Guys, Im no linguist expert but I'm not sure that Gaulish is the right language to take a steer for Brythonic.The Welsh Language is the living remnant of Brythonic, and as a native welsh speaker myself, I cant understand or even recognise what youre saying or the text in any of your blogs. To my ear, you sound latinized too - so perhaps you need to bear that in mind before you get too deep down the wrong track...

  • Well for a start this isn't gaulish, which has a totally different verbal system to Brythonic. Ancient Celtic and Latin languages were fairly similar in grammar and even in phonology (closer that it was to English), but differed in the verb construction. Though tbh as someone who's studied latin for ages, I may have been pronouncing this like I do Latin just out of bad habit...

  • I am fascinated in the origins of things in a positive way, but a part of me always feels a little bit guilty or that there is something sinister in taking it to far, when genetics starts getting talked about I am always reminded of what I have been taught about the renaissance in paganism in germany just prior to the reich,

    this is potentially dangerous when coupled with the socio political climate at the moment.

    A bit like two virus's coming together and mutating into something nasty

  • I know what you're talking about (having studied nazi ideology) but I think this is different these days.

    I can't see why you should feel "guilty" as you put it about this, theres nothing to feel guilty about.

    They'll always be some twats who'll take it too far, but no one listens to them.

  • Because he lives under a liberal lefty politically correct establishment which pushes for globalism by constantly making Europeans feel guilty about their identity and heritage. A victim of globalist propaganda. I'm genetically and Ethnically British, no shame whatsover.

  • Vlog-us LOL I'm guessing 'us' is a postposition

  • I'm glad the the language of my region of england still survives many people still use dialect words from the cumbric language we need to keep dialect alive or we will lose our connection to the past

  • how did u reconstruct this there is only one sentence in it ever reconstructed

  • Is it just me, or does this kid look like Michael Jackson's son?

  • @Elevationary Oh not this shit again. Look, any similarities between modern Celtic and Hebrew are purely coincidental. Stop trying to impose a false biblical lineage on everyone in the fucking world.

  • bivlogos brittaanicom senooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo! VICTORIA PATRIAAI!

  • this guy's a magician

  • what the fuck is this

  • "As regards the ancient brown race or races of North Europe, there can be no doubt of their existence in the south-east of Norway and in the east of Friesland"
