Evidence frae place names suggests Cumbric speakers micht hae flittit it intae ither pairts o Northren Ingland frae the core areas farther north,[2] an the leid micht hae been spoken as far sooth as the Yorkshire Dales. Maist linguists believe that it becam extinct in the 12t century, efter the incorporation o the semi-independent Kinrick o Strathclyde intae the Kinrick o Scotland.
