An Introduction To The Celtic Languages by Paul Russell
An accessible survey of the Celtic languages that traces their development from Proto‑Celtic and compares the major branches (Goidelic and Brythonic), offering clear analyses of phonology, morphology, syntax and lexical change; it highlights characteristic features such as initial consonant mutation and VSO word order, outlines key sound changes and reconstruction methods, and discusses orthography, language contact, sociolinguistic contexts and modern revitalization, using data from Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Breton and Cornish to illustrate both shared inheritance and divergent developments.
