Great Britain (Welsh: Prydain Fawr, Scottish Gaelic: Breatainn Mhòr, Cornish: Breten Veur), also known as Britain, is an island situated to the north-west of Continental Europe.

Even the Scots have got a word for it.

Huh, interesting that Gaelic is similar in pronounciation to Cornish and Welsh
since the latter two are Brythonic, not Gaelic. I was given to understand the two language groups were more separated than that.

Not really that much of a surprise when one considers that those languages are Celtic.
Plus the Breton tongue as well, fact fans.

Yeah, but they're different language sub-groups.
Breton is also Brythonic, whereas Irish is Gaelic. Irish and Scots are a lot closer to each other than say, Cornish and Scots.

I was just mildly surprised that the pronounciation of Great Britain in all three languages were so similar, despite the spelling.

True.
I used to see gaelic cartoons on ITV when I was a kid.

Thanks Tangles, just waiting to find out if you meant 'British Isles' when you said 'island of Britain'.
The former would be a collection of several islands, the other would be only one island.

Hope this helps.
