Koch 1997, pp. xxvi- xxx. However, Koch's interpretation of the poem has been challenged on a number of counts. He relies on an early date for Gweith Gwen Ystrat, classifying its language as what he calls 'Archaic Neo-Brittonic', a form of Old Welsh spoken in the 6th century, which he regards as the language in which Y Gododdin was originally composed.

Forsyth, Katherine, Language in Pictland : the case against "non-Indo-European Pictish" (Utrecht: de Keltische Draak, 1997), 27. Evidence from early and modern Welsh shows great influence from Latin from the Roman period, and especially so in terms as to the church and Christianity, which nearly all come from it. By the sixth century AD, the tongues of the Celtic Britons were more rapidly splitting into "Neo-Brittonic": Welsh, Cumbric, Cornish, Breton and probably the Pictish language. Over the next three centuries it was replaced in most of Scotland by Middle Irish (which later developed into Scottish Gaelic) and south of the Firth of Forth by Old English (an offshoot of which is Scots) throughout England and in Cumbria.

It will have been, according to this argument, to some extent a 're-invention' designed to serve a political purpose in unifying the Britons, probably under the dominance of Verulamium (the modern Saint Albans) where the cult of the martyr Alban was most probably based. Critical to the theory is the interpretation of the Elafius mentioned in the Vita Germani, or Life of Saint Germanus, as a mis- hearing, in a garbled version of the story of Saint Germanus's visit to Britain, of the name Albios or Albius, as an alternative name for Albanus – the latter possibly representing a later version of the name, perhaps introduced by Germanus. A Celtic Albios or vulgar Latin Albius, pronounced in a British-Celtic way, would have given – so Thornhill argues – a name Ailbe, if borrowed into Irish. The ei in the Welsh form (Llan)eilfyw would be explained by the process of i-assimilation, a feature of the development of the Brittonic Celtic languages and a process which would have been underway by the 5th century.pp. in 260, 238-9, 247-8 Sims-Williams, Patrick (1990) "Dating the Transition to Neo-Brittonic: Phonology and History, 400 to 600" in A Bammesberger, A.
