Excerpt from Some Points of Similarity in the Phonology of Welsh and Breton In this paper an attempt has been made to classify, as far as was possible, the points of similarity in the phonological development of Welsh and Breton, as they appear in these languages since the time of the separation of the Bretons in the 5th. - 7th. centuries. The majority of the various changes naturally comprises those of the Middle and Modern periods of both languages. The written documentary remains of the earlier period(8th. - 9th. centuries) of Welsh, Cornish and Breton possess so close a resemblance to each other as to lead at first to the supposition that they belonged to one branch only, until Bradshaw pointed out the criteria by which they could be distinguished . Some of the phenomena here noted date from an earlier period (as, e. g., i), others appearing for the first time later in continuous texts and in isolated words from the Breton Charters. Most of the peculiarities of phonology to which reference is made, date, however, from the middle and later periods. In some cases both languages in the middle period offer certain particular points of resemblance which disappeared later in the course of further development from one or both languages (as, e. g., 9).

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, University of Freiburg, language: English, abstract: The Welsh language has been in contact with English for many centuries. After the Celtic languages were forced out of central Europe during the age of the Roman Empire two branches developed: Goidelic (or Q Celtic) and Brittonic (or P Celtic), with Welsh belonging to the Brittonic branch. Since the fifth century Welsh has been under pressure as other Germanic-speaking tribes such as the Angles and Saxons arrived in Britain. The Welsh speaking population had to relocate in the area we today call Wales. What followed was a long process of anglicisation.
This work brings together in one volume the results of existing studies on the speech sounds of Welsh. It includes dialect studies of the Welsh of different districts, some of them dating back to the second half of the 19th century, while others adopt more structuralist and generative approaches.
