I agree with you. A the origin, welsh, cornish and Breton are probably the same language (before Breton people crossed the Channel to invade Armoric land which became Brittany), near the gaulish language from the brittonic group but different of the Gaelic group (Irish, Manx and Scottish).
@retelas2 you greeks claiming such crap are full of yourselves arent you, greek isn't the mother of all languages and English isn't a greek a dialect it's of germanic roots.
May I recommend you to learn a bit of Breton? As you probably know, Br-i-tons moved from Britain to Brittany where they became Br-e-tons. Their language, leaving its natural environment, is most likely to have some old and crystalized form of ancient "British". You sure will find some interesting stuff there. Like the almost absence of "to have", often given by "to be" + passive voice.
I want to learn this, my people come from somerset.

fascinating but where did you get this from?

@5thcenturyad In Brittonic languages you usually have to answer affirmatively, instead of just saying "yes". For example:
Q: "Did Joe hit the man?"
A: "Yes he did." or "He did."
The word for 'yes' or 'indeed" is 'to' or 'tod' from proto-Celtic *tod.
To answer negatively you can say just 'no' or say the full answer like before.
Q: "(same)"
A: "No." or "No, he didn't."
The word for 'no is 'ne'.

Could you tell me "yes" and "no" in Ancient British? As in answering a question e.g. "Do you have a spare room at the inn?" "Yes"
Thanks and best wishes.
