Pictish is the term used for the language that was spoken in what is now northern Scotland before the Scots immigrated in the 5th century. There is a small number of unintelligible Ogham inscriptions from the area; otherwise, the language is known only from geographical and personal names.
It has long been held that the language was non-Indo-European, but today, most scholars assume that it was Celtic.
