@lady_of_the_mercians: A rich linguistic history being reduced to three legal terms. Heartbreaking. The text is Leger inter Brettos et Scottos, an 11th century legal text. Examples of Cumric place names include: Glasgow, Carlisle, Penrith, and Lanark. #medievaltiktok #celticlanguages #irishlanguage #welshlanguage #welshhistory

Isn't some of the language preserved in Welsh? we call a girl " merch" which is like the word daughter-tax " mercheta"

As a cumbrian you do see a few of remains of it and you've got a lot of dialect aswell tho I wish the language was still about
