==Writing & Language==
The Picts had their own system of writing, Pictish. However, little survives today, so the history of the Picts themselves is a largely "academically recreated" history from other sources. The language, Pictish, is generally regarded as an [[Insular]] Celtic language, but this is based only on remaining evidence such as place names.
