Yn ***bric, Hawker ?
"***bric was the Brythonic Celtic language centred in ***bria, and
spoken from lowland Scotland south to Derby****re. ***bric was once
referred to as North Welsh and Cornish as South Welsh. ... The old
northern British kingdoms of Rheged and Gododdin spoke Old Welsh, but
given time, many linguists consider that this tongue was distinguishable
from Old Welsh at the time of its demise [as a community language].
[NOTE: They said this of Kernewek and Gaelg too but research has shown
that the revival of these languages had started before the last native
speakers had died - in ***bric's case ?] "In the 19th and 20th [and 21st
?] centuries sheep counts and children's counting rhymes which [are ?]
***bric have been collected throughout northern England: eg Yan, Tan,
Tethera, Methera, Pim compared to Old Welsh "Un, Dou, Tri, Petwar, Pimp".
