Best Answer

Original? If you mean before say 1900 then it's;-

English, Welsh, Gaelic, Scots, Ulster Scots and Cornish

There is also the Manx language, Cornish, Norman French spoken in Jersey, Alderney and Guernsey which dates from the 11th century, and three versions of the Romany language in Wales, England and Scotland. You could also add British Signing Language (BSL) which makes a total of 14 indigenous languages.
