@yvanspijk @steinarb the people didn’t move - they stayed where they were. And they carried on speaking their own language, absorbing words into it like skat (tax or penalty) . The word survives, changed slightly, as scot-free. 
We know they carried on speaking the same language because the grammar of English is still Brythonic. If they had changed language, there would be no present continuous tense in English but as we know, it is the most common tense.
