I remember seeing Richard Burton on a talk show, in 1961 (I was 18). The other members of the panel kept referring to him as English. As an Irish American (whose name got to Ireland, from Wales, in 1168, I was annoyed. Burton was gracious and erudite but, after an hour or so, he'd had enough. "You've been referring to me all evening, as English. I'm Welsh. We admire the English...with a cold dislike."

All I'm saying is that the Celtic language was an Atlantic thing, not Europe wide. Most of Europe was proto German, including eastern Britain, so didn't 'change' by the Anglo-Saxons, but already was 'german' speaking. What is thought 'celtic' culturally is just as much Germanic, & shared across Europe, including the Celts, not primarily Celtic in origin.

@@lloydbeattie9370 That too simplistic. The Romans, & Greeks to some extent, named a wide group of people after the first name they knew for them, sometimes incorporating different peoples under one 'label' ethnically by association. This is not proof of an actual close ethnic or cultural, or even linguistic connection, but more often mere geography. Thus the Romans met a 'tribe' they heard of as Greeks, so expanded this to mean many people in the eastern Mediterranean, who called themselves 'Hellenes', none say 'Greek'. Similarly, they encountered a group they heard as 'German', & then called a large part of Europe & it's people 'German'. Again, in south western Gaul they found 'Keltoi, or Celts, ,'Gauls', & stretched these to cover many peoples. The Carthage area they new as 'Africa' was expanded to cover the whole Mediterranean coast, later even the whole continent. Asia was just Anatolia, now a vast land mass. Thus what they called people does not prove an accurate marker of ethnicity or linguistic identity.

Celts in England spoke languages based in Phoenician alphabet so we must say they adopted others Celtic peoples language

@Falk You misunderstood, mate. Indigenous also means people who have a close connection to the Earth. Who are adapted to and live in cooperation with Nature ( not as being native to just one spot. ). Unlike Westernized, modern culture. Celtic Britons were the same as Native Americans, Australian Aboriginals and other peoples who treated the Earth and animals with honour, kindness and respect. People who lived off the land and knew natural medicines to take care of themselves. Friendly word of advice. Please don't call anyone silly for their opinions because you are trying to force your own on them. Thanks

@Falk They indeed put great emphasis on warrior culture, and developed warrior codes and ethos so much more elaborated than ours today (which in fact are non-existent) that we wouldn't even be able to fathom. But they certainly weren't as "violent" as us modern day folk who invest billions in the creation of weapons of mass destruction, or slaughter billions of animals per day for our mere profit and gustatory pleasure. There's a fine distinction between being "extremely violent", which is the view your biased eyes have through a lens influenced by your own modern standards of violence and by main-stream depiction of ancient cultures, and having an elaborated warrior culture. They would take the weapons only if necessary, but at the same time, maybe more often than us today who wallow in comfort and came to a point where we even tolerate the intolerable.

The Irish are Indo-Europeans, often with white skin and blue eyes. Theory: that is the reason the British find it difficult to get on with Europeans - they're not really Europeans!

We know enough about the Scots and Irish to know they migrated from different parts of Europe and the history books suggest that the welsh migrated to Britain during the Celtic expansion before the rise of the roman empire and the welsh where later driven into wales during the angle-Saxon conquest and colonization of Britain and before this the welsh where driving all over Britain by attempts at mass murder and genocide by the roman empire with whole villages having to be abandoned. The welsh are in wales because that was the land the angle-Saxon allowed them to keep.

Yes exactly. I think cultural continuation is a stronger indication of a people's survival than strict genetics. For one, genetics and ancestry are complicated and aren't always in line with identity. They're definitely interesting and can provide a clearer picture of what happened in history. But both are at play and mix together. There are many modern examples of indigenous groups who have mixed ancestry due to foreign colonization, or adopting foreigners into their tribe, or a mix of both, but their identity is firmly with maintaining the indigenous culture, or a creole culture, passed down from those ancestors

@@szymonbaranowski8184why?

Different origin though. Galles, Gaul and Wales are from a Germanic word referring to foreigners from the former Roman Empire (also Wallachia, Vlachs via Slavic languages) and prior to that are thought to have come from the Volcae Celts living in central Europe who must have bordered the Germanics at some point. Gallia is the Roman name for the land of the Galli, a word which originated in Northern Italy where the Romans first encountered the Galli. It's possibility a nickname for Galatae or similar or a lost ethnic name. Gael is a modern simplification of Goidel after the d became silent. Goidel, possibly from Welsh Gwyddel has a meaning of wild men or men from the woods - gwydd relating to the English word wood through common IE origin. The Welsh hero Gwyddion is a divine woodsman whose name means 'wood born'.

Yes, "Wealch" from Anglo-Saxon meaning foreigner to "Welsh" but in the Welsh language "Cymro" or Cymric. The Gauls and Celts (Greek: Keltoi) in Britain had similar tribal names in some cases. The 3 dialects of Bretonic in France are more closely related to Cornish and Welsh rather than Gaelic.

@@s0ulbr0777 The Irish are beaker people. The beaker people are not actually the original inhabitants. They are from the stepes of russia and are the "caucasian" people. It's true that in the UK the people who built stone henge were wiped out in violent way, but that did not happen in Ireland at all. It's also not sure if the beaker people built stone henge or simply arrived around the time it was finished being built. In Ireland the genetics are actually disputed at this very moment. There are two theories, one is the beaker people peacfully bred with the locals who were there before. The other is that the genetic link between the Irish people and the beakers is coincidental. We base the link on a gene linked to lactose tolerance and the latest study shows that its possible for different groups to evolve this gene when farming improves and they eat more cheese and drink more milk. So its possible the Irish are even older and are in fact the original hunter gathers on the land. The original hunter gathers were wiped out in England, we thought they bred with the beakers in Ireland, the beakers in England may, or may not have built stone henge.. in Ireland it doesnt matter as they either built it or lived happily with the people who did, or it was built by the original inhabitants and the beakers never really impacted the genes in ireland. This is the reason why Irish and Scottish are gentically idnetical, the Picts are genetic brothers of the Irish. the Welsh and English are genetic brothers and are cousins of the Irish/scottish/picts. The celts never came to the islands at all, they were italian and no one ever recorded any visits. The thing is, that the beaker people in England were replaced too by saxons, angles, danes, normans, romans. So were the Welsh to a large degree and parts of scotland too. This is why they have a colonial mentality lacking in Scotland and Ireland, they came to the islands and declared that they owned them. They go to America declare they own it, africa, india. The shame is the scottish and irish got tricked into helping them by believing they were all one in the same and simply delivering civilization to people, when in fact they were wiping civilizations out.

Have you considered the possible extent of the Bronze Age mining on Parys Mountain, which I believe was dated to circa early to middle Bronze Age? I wonder if the Sygun (spelling?) mine opposite Dinas Emrys has been checked for hammer stones etc? Oh, there's an excellent work by William O'Brien on prehistoric copper mining in Europe that's really worth reading.

Welsh people educating others what a joke, you are the aboriginees of Britain, you had no written language before the Romans.

How did you trace all the way back to then?

Obviously Belgians had tribes from gaul in the region, so its okay for you to claim some celtic heritage since dna can prove it. I will not, however, accept ANY irish, english or anyone in the uk area (although the welsh if any of them, have some right to, but not ALL) to claim celt heritage since there is NO proof, dna wise or linguistically that support the irish being of celt heritage. Their culture bares NO resemblance at ALL to the major celts of iberia and gaul, i mean nothing at all. This gets MANY irish upset, but facts dont really care. Stealing culture is sickening to me. Anyways i digress, you belgians (well not all, the germanic belgians wont get any love from me) but yall Latin Belgians with some celt heritage are cool with me for sure. Its a family and its important to gate keep and keep out the culture vultures like the irish and germans.

@@jonathansoko1085 you just saying words without any proof or evidence to prove your claim. The celts most definitely went to Ireland and the isles.

Jonathan, I am not sure where you get your info from. The Irish speak a Q-Celtic language as opposed to the Welsh who speak a P-Celtic language. An example of this is the word for head. In Welsh the word is pen, in Irish it is ceann. The Belgae spoke continental Celt which became extinct in about 450 A.D. I would surmise that the Menapii unlike other Belgae travelled by sea to Britain then to Ireland to escape the Roman occupation of Gaul. It was around 30 B.C. that most of the Continental Celts we're put to the sword by Julius Caesar. They either escaped to the British Isles by boat, made into slaves, or put to death. The Menapii most likely escaped by way of the North Sea to the British Isles where they were in contact with their kinsmen.

It is quite possible that the derivation of Fermanagh comes from a tribe who settled Fermanagh called the Menapii. This ancient clan of Fermanagh would probably be linked to the Belgic tribe of the same name.

Viking, Norman, Anglo Saxon...

it is like many call Deutschland Germany....it would be like call the italians romans .....maybe there is more germanic in north Germany or Scandinavia....the rest is of many slavic, roman and keltic or retians or ilirian tribes,latter mostly romanized ....fact is...we have still here a germanic or there a roman/latin or a keltic descending language...but we are Deutsch or Italian or Irish...and our culture is deutsch, irish or italian or whatever.....and we are not folks which hasnt change since more than 2000 years...we dont make germanic, keltic or roman music.....our music has evolved and many folcloric is typical european from 17/18th centuries...and little is known from music of the original tribes....so for sure you can find everywhere now also traces of germanic, keltic, roman, greek or slavic influence.......but we arte defenitivly not like the "original" old tribes....

Aren't the Norse people who "went Viking (raiding offshore from their homes)" rather than a people called the Vikings?

Pretty much sums it up. There is a whiff of suspicious revisionism in these blown up theories about "Celts being not Celts" (a recent exhibit in Brittany also propagated similar fantasies, despite the fact that Western Bretons share more DNA with insular Celts than any other group). Sorry but if you are familiar with Celtic languages ( among the oldest in Europe), it's easy to see the close relationship between surviving Celtic cultures.

I'm Irish and "celtic" is a fantasy culture from the past 100 years or so. The Irish never self identified as "celts"

Ok……? I was born in Ireland, but raised in the U.S. By my DNA, I have Scandinavian in there, I guess from when Eric the Red popped in for a Guinness on his way through! Hell, I don’t know what I am! ☘️😂

Are you talking about the Tuath Dé Danann (Tuath Dé) and their migration to Ireland as told in the Lebor Gabála Érenn? If not, where does the story of "A Trickle of Water" appear? I could find no reputable source for this after a quick online search other than some neo-pagen sites. Thanks.

Neo-pagan and Wiccan counterfeits are not a proper substitute for genuine Celtic myth. If this “A Trickle of Water” story does not have any basis in the medieval Irish and Welsh myths, it is but a forgery.

@@lowlandnobleman6746 Glad to know I am not the only one with common sense. I don't like "neo-pagans" Who claim to know things, while clearly showing obvious ignorance and lack of resource about the deities they are incorrectly worshipping. It's like if a guy converted to an indian religion like Shaktism, but did not even learn how to properly pray or chant sanskrit hymns with the proper pronunciation, all the while claiming they are practicing the religion correctly, and even creating fake books with luducrous ideas. The same criticism applies to wikkans btw...

@@hermescarraro3393 I can't speak to eastern paganism but European neo-pagans come in a lot of varieties. There are historical revivalist neo-pagans who range from trusting anything presented to them to those who are religious scholars and historians. Some neo-pagans have decided that revival isn't possible due to the fact a lot of the practices are inferred and source evidences often come from skewed medieval Christian perspectives. Some groups are open to anyone and have few rules, some are closed and closer to "secret societies". The practices are almost always less dogmatic like Abrahamic religions and more traditional or have traditional origins. Some consider God's real, some hero's, some just an idea to focus on. Religion changes, things get dropped, adopted, misinterepreted. Saying "fake books with luducrous ideas" could just as easily describe any religious text.

Aye. Cranks.
