Connecting QML with C instead of C++?

I've been working on an app in Ubuntu, using C and GTK, I want to switch from GTK to QML, however I can not find anywhere on the internet info on linking QML to C functions, just C++. Is it even possible? And if so, how do I do it?

I already know you can use Javascript and C++, but I'm looking for C. My favourite languages are C and Python and I'd really like to stick with them.

Well, what I'm deciding to do now, after some research on my options, I'm going to just write the GUI in C++, and the rest of my app in C. After looking up how it's done, it doesn't look too difficult to mix C++ and C, the thing is I probably have over a 1000 lines of code in C, rewriting the GTK stuff shouldn't take too long with how streamlined QML is, so the C++ GUI file is going to be pretty minimal. If anyone else is interested this page will show you how to mix C and C++.
