England. The dominant nation of the island of Great Britain should always be distinguished from
Britain, the
P-Celtic nation occupied by the Romans which England displaced. This is especially important in Welsh and Cornish literatures, as those peoples are direct descendants of the Celts displaced by the invading Angles, Saxons, and Jutes; the Welsh word for Britain, Prydein, may denote Wales. Other P-Celtic Britons inhabited southern Scotland, migrated to
Brittany, or fused with the invaders. ModIr. Sasana; ScG Sasunn; Manx Sostyn; W Lloegr, Lloegyr; Corn. Pow Saws; Bret. Bro-Saoz. Medieval Welsh poets used the term Brynaich, among others, to deride the English.
