    It was my understanding that Manx, Cornish and Welsh were mutually intelligible and Breton was close?

    Manx is Q-Celtic so reasonably intelligible (on the rare occasions when it is spoken) to Scots and Irish Gaelic speakers. I don't believe Welsh, Cornish and Breton could be described as mutually intelligible even though they share some words in common.
