Brython and '''Brythonic''' are terms which refer to Indigenous , pre- Roman , Celt ic speaking inhabitants of most of the island of Great Britain , and their Culture s and Language s, the Brythonic Languages . These Ethnic Group s are also referred to as the '''British tribes''', the '''ancient Britons''', '''ethnic Britons''', or simply '''Britons'''. These terms specifically refer to the culture of speakers of the P-Celtic branch of the Celtic Languages as opposed to speakers of Q-Celtic , who are usually referred to as Gaels or Goidelic Celts. It is not known (and perhaps unknowable) whether the whole population of Great Britain was brythonic. A number of scholars argue that the unknown language of the Picts was ''P-Celtic'', but by sub-Roman times the Picts were distinguished as a separate group, as were the ''Gaels'' of Dál Riata . The terms "Brython" and "Briton" are traditionally used to mean inhabitants of ancient Britain excluding the Picts, because other cultural features of the Picts, for example their Sculpture , Pottery and monumental remains, differ from those of the Brythons.
