The British were the people who lived in Britain when the Romans invaded. Some people call them the Celts although the real Celts, who lived in France, never migrated here. Instead, most Britons were descended from ancestors who had been here since the end of the Ice Age and were descendents of the Stone Age British. They were farming people who grew corn and kept animals.
By Iron Age times, the land was divided into tribes (kingdoms) but all the people spoke the same language.
