    It’s amazing that at some point Celtic languages spread all the way to Anatolia.

  3. The 2000 map is very harsh on Welsh. Welsh is faring much better than Irish which you wouldn’t think from that map.

    Some big inaccuracies there. The retreat of „old cornish“/Dumnovian is way too far, way too fast – the archaeological record shows it in significant use as far east as Bristol into the 17th century. Also, Gallo is completely ignored, despite being still in sporadic use today.

    I am from South wales and my mother tongue is Welsh as it is for many others in Wales. In fact Welsh is a compulsory subject in all state schools in Wales up to the age of 16! The map showing my everyday language basically fizzling out to nothing apart from a dot in North Wales in 2000 AD is just wrong!

    Welsh is much more prevalent than the graph suggests. I went to university in South Wales and I knew many people whose first language was Welsh.

    Can someone please explain that Icelandic Gaelic in the early Medieval period?

  8. Love this. I don’t think Tartessian is definitively accepted as Celtic or even Indo-European.

    Its so interesting how they suddenly pop-up in the middle of Anatolia then vanishing slowly.. Wonder how many people live in that area now calling themselves as Turkish today actually from a Celtic descendant.

    Welsh settlements were established in Patagonia in 1865.

    I am a Welsh speaker and I have ancient ancestors there.

  11. Incorrect for Welsh. It is thriving and the only Celtic language that can say this.

    What happened around 600 AD that led to the smidge of Brittonic alongside Gallaecian in Northern Iberia?

    yeah. I call BS on that map. My grand ma is a native speaker of Breton. So there should be a dot in Brittany. She is 103 in May so correct your map ASAP. Do not wait to be right.
