Pictish

I believe also that Pictish may have been a seperate Celtic branch
midway between Brittonic and Gaulish, but closer to Gaulish. It would
then make sense that Bede mentioned Pictish as one of the 5 languages of
Britian, seperate from Goidelic or Brittonic.

If there's a connection with the continental Pictones, who were
originally Aquitanian-speaking, then I wonder if this Pictish language
could be the result of the Pictones later Aquiring Gaulish due to their
geographic position, but retaining an Aquitanian substrate.
