My first thought was Irish and Scots gaelic (they don't seem to be the
same according to the URL below). That, and quite a few others not on
your list can be found here, with a (very) few sound samples too.

They are most definitely different, as are Welsh, Cornish, Manx (was that
there!) and Breton. A similar root (as 'Germanic' etc.) but genuinely
different languages, not just dialects.
All but Cornish and Manx are, of course, also genuinely 'live' (as opposed
to resuscitated).

Oh, I know that Irish and Scots gaelic are different languages, but from
my limited knowledge of the Scots gaelic (I don't claim to speak it, but
I learned about it for a while), I've noticed some similarities in
various phrases and words, that's all. Manx was there BTW.

Here we have Welsh gaelic:

Gallese - Nadolig llawen a blwyddyn newydd dda

(Sorry that the languages names are in Italian in that list)

That, and quite a few others not on
your list can be found here, with a (very) few sound samples too.

Interesting. Thanks!

I wish you... how to say it? ;-)

While I agree that they are different languages, they are closely
related. There is a good degree of mutual comprehensibility,
particularly if the Irish Gaelic speaker uses the Donegal (northern)
dialect.

A clarification: Welsh is not a Gaelic language. It is, along with
Breton and Cornish, Brythonic. The Gaelic and Brythonic language
families are related.
