Example Sentences
- "The Welsh language is not a backwards, insignificant thing; it is a fundamental part of Britain’s collective history. I find it absurd that so few English people realise it is still spoken in families and communities across Wales, as part of a Brittonic culture which has survived through the ages."
Etymology
From Briton + -ic, with -tt- after Latin Brittō.
