Nitpick: The term 'Celtic' is a recent (Victorian actually, I think) invention describing a group of peoples with a common ancestry. They did not think of themselves as Celts, and did not have a common language, although afaik their languages all derived from proto-Gaelic; these languages eventually became Breton, Cornish, Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic and probably a couple of others I've forgotten about. So, in short, the term 'Celtic' is fine when applied to the people themselves, but there was no 'Celtic language'. End of nitpick. My apologies if I bored/offended anyone. Eckhard.
