Loegrish language

Loegrish (Loegrish: Legeregh [ləˈgɛ.ɹiʝ]; Old Loegrish: Legereg [ləˈgɛ.rɛg]) is a Brythonic Insular Celtic language native to the parts of present-day England known as Legor (Welsh Lloegyr), "that part of Britain south and east of a line extending from the Humber Estuary to the Severn Estuary, exclusive of Cornwall and Devon." Loegrish has an estimated 130,000 speakers within England, with a few speakers found in Ireland, Canada, the United States, and Australia. It is closely related to Cornish, Devonian, and Breton, and slightly more distantly to Welsh and Cumbric. Its dialects are split up into four main groups, Mercian (central England; Merchegh), East Anglian (East Anglia; Ighenegh), Southwestern (Wessex; Céledaenegh), and Southeastern (Kent and Essex; Kéntegh).

Efforts to revive the language starting in the early 20th century have met with some success. Nowadays, Loegrish schools exist, in which most or all of the teaching is done in Loegrish. A steady stream of material in Loegrish, both translated and original, is being put out, including films, books, and music. A growing interest in the Celtic culture of England has taken place, which has necessarily included the language.
