Read, amongst others, ALISTAIR MOFFAT, "Arthur And The Lost Kingdoms"; I cannot remember in which of the many, many reference books that I have studied, cross-referenced, etc, where I read that "SasSanach" (contrary to the Wikipedia article, "Gaidhealtachd", that the word "Sas(S)anach" means(literally) "Saxon", NOT "Protestant".) Another excellent source is Tim Clarkson's "Men Of The North-The Britons Of Southern Scotland". However, so much is the demand for the twisted mess of Geoffrey of Monmouth's writings of occurences not then written down, and AFTER the fact that it seems even Wikipedia is bowing to it. There is nothing about the ("Modern") Welsh mistruths about how that country stole all the heroic historical facts from Southern Scotland and relocated them to Wales. Cwmbraic (and "Yr Hen [G]Ogledd"] is written off as a joke. An article of such in Wikipedia has the opportunity to do more than merely refer to Cwmbraic as a "Dead language". Latin is a dead language, too, of course, so what is the Wikipedia thought about that? What the modern, South Welsh would call "the thin language", evidently not only makes the words correct to Wikipedia, but confirms that what happened in Southern Scotland DID, in fact, occur in Wales. Also that "Gwyr y Gogledd", "Men of the North" are in fact, the Men of North Wales, not the Brythonic Celts of Cumbria and Southern Scotland. Cwmbraic, or "P-Celtic", stopped being spoken in southern Scotland some nine hundred years ago to be replaced by "Stranger-Gael", Q-Celtic (hence the expression "Mind your P's and Q's".).
