Best Answer

Welsh :-) The "ancient Britons" who occupied most of Britain at the time of the Roman invasion, were the ancestors of the modern Welsh and spoke an earlier form of Welsh. The name of Caratacus, who led a rebellion against Roman rule, has survived as the modern Welsh name Caradog.

So the Welsh have been in Britain, speaking something like Welsh, since some centuries BC.; the English arrived during the 5th century AD.
