"‘Historiens, archaeologists, geographers aud patriots should own this book.‘ The Times Literary Supplement A great many languages have at one time or another taken root in Britain, and what is known about them varies enormously. At one extreme stand Welsh, English and Scottish Gaelic, each of which is still spoken and has a long literary tradition behind it; and at the other extreme are extinct languages such as Cumbric and Pictish, of which only the most fragmentary traces remain. Professor Price draws together evidence and research to reconstruct the history oft hese languages and their positions in the societies they served. ‘provides much engrossing reading for anyone interested in the rise and fall of languages, the connections between them and the question, rarely adequately addressed in historiography, of how our ancestors communicated with one another and with strangers.... Intriguing details abound, pertaining as much to geography and social history as to linguistics and literature . . . .‚ The Bookseller ‘The Languages of Britain is a work showing not only extensive scholarship but the writer‘s personal interest in and concern for the threatened tongues, and will be appreciated by all who share his concern.‘ Books in Scotland Glanville Price is Professor of Romance Languages in the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth.
