Although no one can be certain, there is a generally accepted hypothesis for the original language of Britain. Britain was first inhabited by proto-humans 780,000 years ago, with modern humans first inhabiting the area during the Upper Paleolithic period. After the Ice Age, no humans remained, and it was only after ice sheets began to recede that humans began repopulating the area.
In 2500 BCE, Beaker culture arrived in Britain, bringing in a maritime trading-networked culture called the Atlantic Bronze Age. Because of this, Celtic languages started developing, with Tartessian being the earliest written Celtic language. Therefore, the earliest known language that was spoken in Britain was a Celtic one, possible Tartessian, although it may be possible that humans communicated verbally before then.
