Yes I see your point.
But this forum is for "the Gaelic languages" which Cumbric, Welsh, Breton, and Cornish do not belong.
There's a divide, in the Celtic languages:
Goidelic (or Q-Celtic) which includes Gaelic, Irish, and Manx
Brythonic (or P-Celtic) which includes Welsh, Breton, Cornish, Cumbric, and presumably Pictish
Only the language spoken in the Scottish Highlands and Islands is properly called "Gaelic" though the term can be more loosely used in the combinations "Manx Gaelic" and "Irish Gaelic". It's somewhat politically incorrect, and not preferred, to refer to the Irish language as "Gaelic".
Were this forum called "the Celtic languages" it would be more inclusive.
