This text provides a single-volume, single-author general
introduction to the Celtic languages. The first half of the book
considers the historical background of the language group as a
whole. There follows a discussion of the two main sub-groups of
Celtic, Goidelic (comprising Irish, Scottish, Gaelic and Manx) and
Brittonic (Welsh, Cornish and Breton) together with a detailed
survey of one representative from each group, Irish and Welsh. The
second half considers a range of linguistic features which are
often regarded as characteristic of Celtic: spelling systems,
mutations, verbal nouns and word order.
