CELTIC TONGUE IS DYING.
Preserved from Extinction Only BY
Efforts Of Patriotic Societies.


Reports from Wales foreshadow the
passing Of the sole Celtic tongue
which has survived the twentieth cen.
tury without the entire loss Of its an
cient birthright.
Gaelic is well-nigh gone from the
Highlands and in Ireland it is pre-
served from extinction only by the
efforts of patriotic societies. Cornish
died in 1870 with the venerable Mrs
Dentreath, who alone could speak It.
Welsh has remained the native speech
Of considerable community and the
Eisteddfod has kept alive traditions
Of the bards and rhapsodists.
But the dry rot is at work. Accord.
ing to the testimony Of Welsh clergy
men before the Westminster church
commission English is fast replacing
Welsh as the habitual speech Of the
children Of Cardiff. All through South
Wales a similar tendency of the
young to abandon the parental speech
is noted IN the parish Of the vicar
OF Trellech, numbering 772 souls, only
three aged persons speak the old YER
nacular When the children give up
a language It is doomed.
The passing Of Welsh is merely an
episode in story of linguistic de
terioration and dissolution" which is
one Of the extraordinary things Of his
tory. Though the Celts have at all
times stamped the impress Of vigor-
GUS personality on the worlds pol
itics, though they remain one Of its
prominent peoples. with the extinction
Of Welsh no living language worthy
of the name win exist as a monument
TO them.
They were the first to leave the old
Aryan home to invade Europe they
overran it from Russia to the Irish
lakes; they established nations in
France Spain. Italy, Bohemia and
Britain; they created great literatures,
but when conquered themselves. they
have invariably accepted the language
Of their conuuerors as their own.
