Celtic Language Family 

Celtic languages arrived in Britain in the late Bronze Age (c.1000 BC) in a large scale migration from France, according to a recent study from Harvard. Not during the Iron Age as previously thought.

52 BC Julius Caesar Completes the conquest of Gaul except one small village .....

My grandfather is a Breton native speaker. When he was a child, he learned French at school and speaking Breton was forbidden. A lot of families stopped transmitting the language and parts of the culture, surnames and places names have been frenchified. Sad.

It was almost as if the Romans exclusively targeted areas that were Celtic, including Britain. 'We are going to make the Celts pay for 390 BC.'

Im American of Scot/Irish descendants. My daughter and I have been trying to learn Manx Gaelic via youtube. We try to practice what little we've learned everyday. Every night i tell my family Oie vi ellen vannen.

I'm north African but the celts and their history hold a place in my heart

We are still here people...we are like the river that forever flows on...Long Live The Celts

As a Brythonic language, I’d love to hear what Pictish sounded like. Being a fluent welsh speaker I love hearing the similarities to, especially so, Kernewik.

we should try to bring back to life continental celtic languages

I'm doing my part to help bring back Irish Gaelic by learning to speak it. My problem is I don't have someone to speak it with. Still, the current native speakers are working hard to bring it back and have it be as equally spoken as English is currently in Ireland.

We must keep these languages alive.

The Celts and their ancestors conquered the continent of Europe during the bronze age and partially replaced the common culture that existed there prior. The fact that their cousin cultures Italic and Germanic replaced them shouldn't bother you since they would have probably done the same If they could. Given that, the Celtic culture that exists now should be conserved as much as possible and even possible revivals.

At least most of us still have Celtic ethnicty.Even if we dont speak a Celtic language. Greetings from Galatia !!

Forgot about the Welsh speakers in Patagonia who number quite a bit

The moment,when you get angry about Romans,and the Anglo Saxons,even if you have blood from both sides.

Thank you for this. Please more of these

You'd swear there was a funeral... we're still here! Just changed our clothes is all! 🇮🇪🙏

*celts have left the server*

Trugarez evit ar video. Desket 'm eus traou. Thanks from Brittany.

Nice overview of the history of Celtic languages, particularly those from the British Isles.

Doesn't matter that we of Celtiberian descent no longer speak the language of our ancestors! We are still Celts!

Celts: Spread out all over Europe and some parts of Asia Romans: I think it’s time to shine I’ve been waiting so long!

It’s fascinating to learn how the Celtic tribes used to dominate Europe.

Thank you for this video.

"Celt" un nowadays Latvian means "to built". The pronantiation and screaption is absolutly the same. In Lithuanian "kelti" to rise in position..

Sad Story😭😭😭😭

Excellent video!!

Very interesting. Thanks!

Dwi'n falch iawn i siarad cymraeg, fel prydeiniwr gwereiddiol!

Mesmerizing Music.

I’m a first language Welsh speaker (my mam is from Wales) and I’m also a native Irish speaker as I have grown up in Ireland. We will never go away. This our culture and languages and I’m a proud Celt.

It was so sad to see how a big culture was almost completely destroyed.

The music in the video is beautiful. 👌

Great video

Very good presentation

So Proud To Be Celtic

excellent video !!! thank you !!!

I LOVE your history videos 🤗as I've been trying to find videos like these for a while. I was wondering, can you do a video like this for the Indo-Aryan languages? Because I think that's the only Indo-European ethnolinguistic group you haven't made a video like this for until now.. Anyways, love ♥ the video 👍!

Don't forget the "Spanish" (majority of territory had Celtic people (Berones; Celtici; Conii, ...), only a smaller part had Iberos) ALSO: ● Portuguese (Lusitanians; Vettones; Celtici; Cynetes; Gallaeci, ...) ● Bohemian (Boii tribe, in Czech Republic (this tribe was also present in Bologna and Bavaria)); ● Belgic (Belgae) ● Italy (Cisalpine Gauls; Ligures; Golasecca culture) ● Turkey (Galatians); ● Serbia (Scordisci tribe); ● Bulgaria (Serdi tribe, in Thrace) MAP www.google.com/search?q=celtic+map&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiFkPLPjMfnAhUZ_4UKHVE3ALQQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=celtic+map&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-img.3..0j0i30l4.6060.10388..10986...2.0..0.188.1133.3j7......0....1.......5..35i362i39j35i39j0i67.kMHizX-K5bc&ei=u1tBXsXGKZn-lwTR7oCgCw&bih=647&biw=360&prmd=inv#imgrc=Bm_cltZjzVHAyM&imgdii=hq-1CZhJFTe_2M

The Celtic languages maybe are at dificult times, but big part of world's culture still have a lot of traits. One of the most important is music. But the very amazing thing is the Celtic DNA. This, with the Celtic spirit, will never die. To restore the Celtic traits we should unite all Celtic Nations. And is not only about languages. Languages are too much essential and guide a entire people, but every Celtic trait must be saved!

Wonderful vídeo.

In North East of Algeria, there was a place called Celtianis and other one called castellum celtianum

This people has an amazing & tragic history, from being the most widespread people in Europe to being only a "marginal" people in the British Islands

Great language the Celtic and very special i would like to learn it,greetings from Albania

You missed out the clearances of Scotland. An event that took place after Culloden and lasted till 1949. Many Gaelic speaking Scots were forced to the new world, especially Canada. So there are Scots Gaelic speakers in Canada, today around 35,000 Canadians speak Gaelic in Nova Scotia

Please remake the austronesian ones with this style 🙏

Could you do the cushitic languages of Horn of Africa such as Somali 🇸🇴 and Oromo. Btw this was interesting to watch. Thanks man. ❤😁👍

I'd like to add that the Reintegration of Galician-Portuguese still considers itself as a Celtic language because of the preservation of the Celtic words that make up the language today. The revival of the language has to do with a huge pervasion of the Celtic tradition that is found only in areas of Galicia, Austrias, and the north of Portugal (which still preserves Galician from the 1500's)

Celtas y vikingos en Asturias, en el concejo de Cudillero concretamente, la zona vaqueira está poblada por personas, que como en mi caso y mi familia somos rubios o pelirrojos y de ojos azules, además el dialecto de Cudillero, el pixueto, utiliza la w y algunas palabras son idénticas a las escandinavas.

Táimíd anso fós, agus ár dteangthacha binne beo inár mbéalaibh againn!

Greetings from Ukraine. I love the Irish for their cheerful disposition.

I like seeing we kept that strong-hold in Brittany. ☘

Where is the pic of the girl of the thumbnail from, please ?

Can someone tell me the song that starts at 2:53 i really like it

I am half English quarter Welsh and quarter Hungarian because I love the Celtic languages

What software did you use to create those maps with animation?

Celtics was called "Hidden",because they talked it at home due to dominant Gull and their roman language in France . Really its a good video , agreetings from jordan thanks

Music at 3:20 I really like it

The Rigveda speaks of a tribe of red haired people who lived in the north(?) some 4000 years ago. The Drsyu/Drhyu, literally meaning the seers. Many scholars suggest that it could be the Druids of the Celts. Could it be the Druids integrated into Celtic society and became a part of them when they flourished in 500BCE.

Merci

Since i'm of irish & scottish descent i'm trying to learn the language but i don't know enough for conversations. Old irish script ᚌᚑᚔᚇᚓᚂᚉ

Hello to my Celtic friends from a Gallic cousin ! :)

Kelts almost disappeared in the West, Scythes and other Iranian peoples in the East of Europe.

In september of 2019 i have learn on google,that celtic people share manny things with serbs.Things like,4000 indentical words,tree worship,opanak shue,pipes music instrument,swastika,music,and that is only few things that i know.PS:I'm looking for thouse 4000 words since 2019,can you find more about it,then let me know,thanks.

Not a mention of Skordisci.

Celtic was still spoken in the Ardennes until the early middle ages (about 7th or 8th century, but do check).

Hi guys, maybe some interesting facts about the name Celtic. Serbs(Slavic people) had their own cyrillic alphabet written first on wood and then on stones(2000-5000 BC). Serbs say about Celtics, those who go from one place to another after food, they say SELE or SELITI , what means migrate. Always on migration. So the they gave their name SELTI, in English language later it became CELTIC.

High quality

A question about the French as Celtic: It is agreed that the Bretons are mostly Celtic, but what about the Normans? Were the people who lived in Normandy before Rollo and the Vikings Celtic, and thus the people of Normandy mixed Celtic and Scandinavian? I am descended from both Normans who invaded England in 1066 and Normans who settled in Quebec circa 1665.

is there any celtic language still spoken ? would love to learn one , to bad there is no country with that language as an official one, just like the gothic language

Love the first song

The Belgian Celts spoke a P celtic language very similar to southern Brythonnic. 7 Belgian Celtic tribes, certainly those of the sea area and a little bit lower lived of both sides of the channel. Fisher men who came over in 3 and more waves. Settled on the island of white, founded the city of Winchester and lived north of the island of white, South-Hampton and further and in south-east England. Those Belgian Celts are one of the sources of the common Brythonnic language. Pro Celts from Belgica wich was much bigger then it is now and ohter Belgian Celts from another time period. 9 procent the people living north of the Island of White have Belgian Celtic DNA. Franks came from the middle east of the Netherland for the rich farming land and mixed with the Belgian Celts in the north, this mix gives us the Fleming. Flemings have a connection to the Belgian Celtic tribes in the UK and to a lot people in parts of the Netherlands. Salian Franks. In the south of big Belgica lived more Belgian Alpino Celts. The influence of the Romans in Wallonië is bigger then in the norht of Belgium, but the story is more complicated. There is a certain DN connection between people of Belgian Celtic origin anywhere in the world. In the USA and other parts of the world. The language border with the French speaking world is the border with the Roman Empire. We fought against the Germans, Romans, Spaniards, French, Moslims.... Brexit will not stand for a long time because of the connection between those Belgian Celts from the sea of both sides of the channel. They traded with each other since more then 3000 BC. Belgianc Celts and Britons moved further to Wales when the Anglo-Saxions came and pushed them further to the west of UK and north-west in the uk. Do the DNA test to see how much Belgian Celtic DNA you'll still have.

Long Live Europe!

Gracias por la informacion .

1:43 " in the Tale of Bygone Years in translation, some "noriks" are mentioned as the first Slavs: “... After the division of the peoples, the sons of Shem took the eastern countries, and the sons of Ham took the southern countries, the Japheths took the west and the northern countries. From the same 70 and 2 languages ​​came the Slavic people, from the tribe of Japheth - the so-called Noriks, who are the Slavs. "

Belgica, was much bigger then it is now and counted 12 Belgian Celtic tribes. Proto celts from Belgica and later other waves of Belgian Celts like the Atrebates, Nervii and Morini crossed the channel. The Belgian Celtic language was like Southern Brythonnic. Brythonnic languages came from old Belgica. The Gauls are another group of Celts like in France. Their language is another Celtic language.

When anglo saxons arrived to Britanny, 30000 people got out with the bishop Maeloc and arrived to north Galicia...but they were very few people to speak a celtic language in Galicia again

What is the names of these songs?

You forgot the patagonic celtic spoken in Chubut.

Very interesting 🤔. If they showed this in high school maybe kids would learn something

What is the name this song? At 0:31

I adore Irish writer Oscar Wilde. From Russia with love. Michael.

song ?

Nice

Can you make one with Greek and Albanian?

You made a mistake. In Hispania, there were three native groups: Celts, Celtiberians and Iberians, not just Celtiberians. You make a mistake by calling Celts of Iberia Celtiberians, since is important to make a difference. Celts lived in the Central-North areas and made the Mayority of the Celtic Peoples of Iberia, while the Celtiberians (just some few of the Celtic tribes), that lived mostly in the center-east, were a mixed group distinct from the celts of the rest of Iberia. Celtiberians were celtic ethnically but with many influences from the most advanced Iberian tribes living nearby who were their neighbors. Iberians lived in the Mediterranean Coast on the East and South.

Hello from Serbia, our capital Belgrade (Singidun) was established by Celts.

Arose from ash only to be swept away by the winds

I wonder what tongue we spoke in Britain before the Indo-European Celtic speech spread here?

Rome's revenge on the celts after the sack of Rome was harsh to put it lightly

Celts are native Europeans.

Why is there no narration to this?

A sad story for a such great people

Nice font

What is name of first song?

You should note that this progression is based on an old outdated theory of Celtic migration. The celts from the west theory is the newer theory that is gaining scholarly momentum at the moment, and explains how the celtiberians have little in common with other celts, as well as the lack of genetic change in the British isles in the supposed period in which the Celtic migration took place. It is also supported by the fact that Tartessian (one of the older Celtic languages) is found in south west Iberia, and not Central Europe. I appreciate your effort in making this visual, but you should do a part two based on the more likely theory.

Ver bien mapas y zonas de colores señalados con flechas , colores . Mapas de Europa . Veras península Iberica . , italica . Etc . 🤔😍😘😳🤩🦁🐗🐳🐯🦄🐳🦎🍷🥛🍺🥃❤💛❤🧊

An-mhaith! Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

4:27 into video, 1777, "Death of the last monolingual speaker of Cornish." Incorrect. Dolly Pentreath had a good command of English. The last monolingual speaker of Cornish must hav died well before her.

They should not let the Celtic culture and language die out.
