New data point for Brithenig time line



1547: William of Salesbury publishes _A Dictionary in Englyshe and
Welshe or Cambriese_, the first Brithenig-English dictionary.
"Its object was to teach the literate Kemrese English, enabling them
to learn it even without the help of an English-speaking master...."
	-- J.R.R. Tolkien
