Before the Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain around the 500s the people of the island of Britain were Brittonic-speaking Celts (the Picts were the same people). They spoke a language which today survives as the Welsh language. This language was spoken from what is now Scotland, all the way through what is now England, and of course in what is now Wales.

When the Anglo Saxons arrived in the 500s they called the people of the island of Britain "Welsh", which means "foreigners" in their Anglo-Saxon tongues. These "Welsh" were everyone on the island of Britain, not just the ones in what is now "Wales".

Cornwall, for examples means "the Welsh of the horn of Britain". Corn-WALL. And there are many places in Scotland today that still bear their original Welsh language names such as Aberdeen (Mouth of the Deen in Welsh) and Glasgow (green meadow in Old Welsh).

The Celtic people of Brittany come from Cornwall. Therefore the modern day Welsh, Cornish and Bretons are all descended from the original Britons.

The Irish are a different Celtic people. They are Gaelic. The Scotti tribe is from Ireland. They settled what is now Scotland. The Scottish Gaelic language is directly descended from Irish Gaelic. And so is the Manx language in the Isle of Man.

As the Cornish language is now all but dead, the Welsh and Breton languages are the last remnants of the old language of the Britons.
