The immediately pre-Roman inhabitants of what is now Yorkshire were the Celts. The Celtic language of Great Britain was Common Brittonic, which is the ancestor of modern the Brittonic Celtic languages [[Breton]], [[Cornish]] and [[Welsh Language|Welsh]].
The fortified city Eboracum (York) was the capital of Brittania Inferior, a Roman province established in c. 200 AD and covering much of what is now Northern England and the [[Midlands]]. There are numerous Roman forts in Yorkshire, which would later be denoted in Old English by the ending ''-ceaster'', surviving as ''-caster'', with examples being [[Doncaster]] and [[Tadcaster]].
