Question III: Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below. (10 pts)
The Celtic languages are a group of languages of northen Europe that are descendants of
the Indo- European family of languages. These languages developed from the language of
the Celts, a warlike civilization originating in the eastern part of central Europe, in the
northern Alps, and along the Danube during the Bronze Age. The Celts reached the height
of their civilization during the Iron Age, the last five centuries B.C, and then fanned out
from their original homeland into many parts of continental Europe and across the channel
and into the British Isles. Celtic languages were spoken in much of western Europe during
Pre- Roman and Roman times. Place names of Celtic origin can be found today all over
the British Isles and France, in northern Spain and Italy , and in Switzerland and parts of
Germany.
Rather than one language, the Celtic languages consist of two distinct clusters: the Gaelic
group and the Brythonic group.The Gaelic group of Celtic languages consists of Irish,
Scottish, and Manx, the language of the Isle of Man. The Brythonic group of Celtic
languages includes Welsh, Cornish, Breton, and Gaulish, the language of Gaul prior to the
days of the Roman Empire, with its Latin - speaking population.
Many, though not all, of the Celtic languages are either extinct or are in the process of
becoming extinct. Gaulish apparantly disappeared around 600 A.D. Cornish and Manx
both actually became extinct, the former in the 19th century and the latter just a few
decades ago, but both are being revived and are now taught in a few schools each.
Scottish, Irish, and Breton are all declining in use. There are under a hundred thousand
speakers of Irish, mainly in the western counties of Ireland, there are about a half million
speakers who use Breton on a daily basis. Of all the Celtic languages, perhaps only Welsh
has a strong hold on the future.

A. describe the past and present of a related set of languages.

years ago.
