Editing Celtic languages (section)

== Living languages ==
[[SIL Ethnologue]] lists six living Celtic languages, of which four have retained a substantial number of native speakers. These are: the [[Goidelic languages]] ([[Irish language|Irish]] and [[Scottish Gaelic]], both descended from [[Middle Irish]]) and the [[Brittonic languages]] ([[Welsh language|Welsh]] and [[Breton language|Breton]], descended from [[Common Brittonic]]).<ref>{{cite web |url= http://aboutworldlanguages.com/celtic-branch |title=Celtic Branch |website=About World Languages |access-date=18 September 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170925040807/http://aboutworldlanguages.com/Celtic-Branch| archive-date=25 September 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> The other two, [[Cornish language|Cornish]] (Brittonic) and [[Manx language|Manx]] (Goidelic), died out in modern times<ref name="Koch06">{{cite book |last=Koch |first=John T. |author-link=John T.
