"The Celtic languages" - as Casey says, this is a linguistic group
with common ancestry, not a single language. There hasn't been a
Celtic language per se for a long, long time :-)

In no particular order:

* Welsh
* Scots Gaelic
* Cornish
* Manx
* Irish
* Breton

All but one (Breton) are spoken in the UK. All have Wikipedias, mostly
of a decent but small size (5000+ pages); Welsh is pretty flourishing.
