Brython

The Brythons were the indigenous Celtic peoples of the British Isles. Sometimes referred to as the "Ancient Britons", the term has been borrowed from Welsh to avoid confusion with one of the modern usages of Briton which means something quite different. Their language would have been the ancestor of Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Cumbrian, which are collectively known as Brythonic languages.

The term is usually used for the post-Roman occupation period, during the Anglo-Saxon invasions, but is also often used for the Roman occupation period, and the pre-Roman period too, to the beginning of the Iron Age.
