> English still hasn't eaten up Irish, Scottish and Welsh.
Yes, it definitely has. Ireland has (optimistically) ~1-2% native Irish speakers.
Welsh is spoken by maybe 20-30% of people living in Wales. I couldn't find a number for native/fluent speakers, but it is certainly much less than that figure - probably similar to the Irish one.
Scottish isn't even a language. There are languages called 'Scots' and 'Gaelic'. Again, both a spoken by a small minority.
