Cumbric
Cumbric
was a
variety
of the
Common Brittonic
language spoken during the
Early Middle Ages
in the
Hen Ogledd
or "Old North" in what is now
Northern England
and southern
Lowland
Scotland
. It was closely related to
Old Welsh
and the other
Brittonic languages
. Place name evidence suggests Cumbric speakers may have carried it into other parts of northern England as migrants from its core area further north. It may also have been spoken as far south as
Pendle
and the
Yorkshire Dales
. Most linguists believe that it became extinct in the 12th century, after the incorporation of the semi-independent
Kingdom of Strathclyde
into the
Kingdom of Scotland
.
