Brittonic languages in use today are [[Welsh language|Welsh]], [[Cornish language|Cornish]] and [[Breton language|Breton]]. Welsh and Breton have been spoken continuously since they formed. For all practical purposes Cornish died out during the 18th or 19th century, but a revival movement has more recently created small numbers of new speakers. Also notable are the extinct language [[Cumbric language|Cumbric]], and possibly the extinct [[Pictish language|Pictish]]. One view, advanced in the 1950s and based on apparently unintelligible [[ogham]] inscriptions, was that the Picts may have also used a non-[[Indo-European languages|Indo-European]] language.<ref>Jackson, 1955</ref> This view, while attracting broad popular appeal, has virtually no following in contemporary linguistic scholarship.<ref>Driscoll, 2011</ref>
