Thanks, Margali!

You just jogged my memory for the term I had been searching for.
Brythonic.

Celtic languages are properly divided into two families: The Goidelic
[celtic languages], being Scots Gaelic, Irish Gaelic or Erse, and, IIRC,
Manx. The Brythonic [celtic language] family includes Welsh, Breton, and
Cornish, and weren't there some Celts in Spain who spoke a Brythonic
language? Gallicians? Or were they Galateans? Can't recall. Brain too
old. Meep zorp flug.
