- How did the ancient Celtic peoples dominate nearly all of Europe and beyond? Today we're going to be discussing the history of the Celtic nations, and the impact of the modern Celtic peoples of Europe on the culture, language and heritage of many areas of the planet.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the Celtic nations, and the now extinct Celtic empires that once ruled Europe. Thanks for watching!

Galicia northern spain is also a celtic nation,still have celtic festivals here. thanks 4 sharing
dundee520 yeah you guys just dont have the language part though
dundee520 Ni te molestes. Este tipo ha decidido emparentarnos con árabes y africanos. ¿No has visto sus vídeos sobre España?
De todas formas, yo estoy de acuerdo contigo. No sólo Galicia. Toda España estaba llens de tribus celtas antes de los romanos. No sé por qué se da más importancia a los iberos que estaban localizados en el mediterráneo y Andalucía que a los celtas.
Aidan Woodford Isle of man didn't have the language and he still included it
Youre right, also the archarogenetics studies trace the british celts origins back to north hispania, in fact Galicia is one of the lands which preserves more celtic traditions alive, even more than many other areas on western Europe, sadly for many people are more important language than another cultural feature and that is wrong.
The Galician language and its brother Portuguese are hardly Celtic but Ibero-Romance. Therefore; Galicia is a pseudo Celtic nation...
You forgot about the Asturias, Galicia and Portugal.
Their languages may be more Roman than Celtic, but ethnically they're Celtic!
@evansdrad The celtic nationalist well,facts you should came to Portugal and see you self the Celtic heritage, not just in Portugal but also in spain.
Also, Celtic place names are in Slavic countries.
Kelsi is a city in Poland. Bohemia in the Czech Republic. Kelttsy village near Moscow. Old name of Ukraine is the Galician-Volyn (bagpipe) principality. In Russian folk songs, they always sing about the girl Dunya and the Danube River, the old name Dunavius, which from the Russian language means blowing (dunavenie). The Danube river is Celtic, but it is present in the Slavic folklore, especially the Russian north, although this river has not belonged to this nation for more than 1000 years. There are red people all over the world as well as in Slavic countries.

fortunately Welsh and Celtic traditions, festivals and culture are still maintained here. Many schools in Patagonia teach Welsh instead of French or English and there are many cities with Welsh names like Madryn, Trelew, Trevelin or Gaiman. Actually Every year a Welsh holiday called esteddfod is celebrated.

I am Vietnamese and as a lover of Celtic peoples and their beautiful cultures, I want to help them preserve their uniqueness. I have joined a local Celtic cultural society here in San Jose, CA (USA) and gone to several Celtic events.
I'm almost 100% Irish. Thankyou for taking interest in our culture. Most of still do feel attached to these roots.

I'm Armenian. I feel like us and the Irish have a lot in common.
1. Oppressive neighbors.
2. Great once, but very small now.
3. Having to leave the motherland after suffering a major catastrophic event killing millions.
4. More of us living out in the world compared to the populace back home.
5. Depressing. Simply depressing.
:(
Very much so my friend
So when these oppressive neighbours attack, you'll be expecting Ireland to come to your rescue. Well the Irish don't help everyone as they are too busy feeling sorry for themselves. But its oppressive neighbour does.
@@sickymicky36 has your country even acknowledged the Armenian genocide?
What's worse, someone that doesn't help, or someone that walks right past you and pretends there's no problem at all? Ireland is like us, they can't do anything. They have no muscle. You guys do, but you use your muscle in all the wrong ways.
But, it's cool, I had you figured by your spelling of "neighbor." So, God be with you! >>
@@sickymicky36 I will note this, in no ways am I saying the Brits are anywhere as bad as the Turks in this matter. You guy might have colonized Ireland. But it's not like you decided to first murder every Irishman on the island before doing so. I am really more or less comparing you guys to our Russian neighbors. A nation that pretended to be on our side, even though they've screwed us over at just about every turn. Even how they decided to draw our map out, making sure us and the Azerbaijanis will have a long future history of territorial disputes. Something you Brits have also done in your world conquesting days. And then there's the b.s. we had to put up with in those Soviet years. So, yeah, if anything, as much as you Brits suck. Don't feel bad. I'd definitely say the Russians have been much, much worse.
Yes, I know how much of a terribly backhanded compliment that was. But, I am an Armenian. And that's as good as you're going to get from us. So, don't mess with us, unless you expecting more.
😁
Nah, not at all.We don’t have any similarity with middle-eastern losers.
Regarding the Galatians in Asia Minor and Thrace, the Celts grew for quite a long time and held on to their language especially in Asia Minor( there was no Turkey back then). These Celts eventually adopted Greek as their own language and finally got totally assimilated by the local Greek populations. What I find very interesting is that the Greeks of a part of Galatia (few small towns and villages) until the beginning of the 20th (before they were expelled to Greece) still had some first names that were definitely not typically Greek and surely not Turkish, but absolutely seemed to be west European. I would have to research again as I didn’t save the document. Also, some Greeks today with ancestry from Asia Minor and Thrace clearly have Celtic characteristics in their appearance. If you visit some villages today in Northern Greece and looks at children playing you could easily pass them for Irish! Whenever I met Germans in Germany I would often be mistaken for an Irish man, it’s really funny and something not many people have noticed I think. Of course the latest genetic research has shown with relative certainty that the proto - Celts originated in the Black Sea area so Greeks and Celts may have long lost connections. I for one since I can remember myself have always felt a strange kinship towards Celts.
9:00 One thing that definitely should have been mentioned here is Canadian Gaelic (there's a Wiki page) - Cape Breton's (as far as I know) the only place outside Scotland where Gaelic is still spoken on a community level, it's home to one of only two Gaelic-only college campuses in the world (the other's on Skye), Gaelic's an official language within Nova Scotia and the language is taught in a number of primary schools. Basically, Cape Breton's a MAJOR player in the Scottish Gaelic scene.
Also in northern Nova Scotia there are still a small number of people who speak Scottish Gaelic and it is taught in schools. Most of the road signs where I live are in English and Gaelic. I have a few classmates who are fluent in it and most people know at least a few common phrases
Every time you make a video it is seriously flawless in terms of research and a pure joy to watch. Please, never retire!
Celtic peoples have had a huge influence on music and culture in southern USA. Lots of us grew up hearing grandma and grandpa telling us we're Scots/Irish. Witch I hear in reality that is Ulster Scots. Scottish people that moved to Northern Ireland then America. These Scot/Irish greatly influenced music and culture in the Appalachians and the Ozarks hers in Arkansas and Southern Missouri. Of course all us Scots/Irish are very common all through the southern states. Mine made it all the way to the hills of Arkansas.
they arent celts theyre germanic settlers from lowland scotland
Lowland Scotland is definitely Not Germanic. I should know as I come from there. You need to check out your history. The people of Lowland Scotland have Celtic roots like the rest of the country and at one time Scottish Gaelic was spoken in all parts of Scotland including the lowlands.

You missed so much. You mentioned almost nothing about the Spanish Celtic heritage. You did not even talk about Galicia.
Gilberto Víquez Agreed. Given how Galicia is the origin of Portugal in both geography and language, it's very disappointing. Also how the biggest architectural find of Celtic relics is in Galicia at Baiona and La Guardia.
Yes,Galicia is in NW Spain,friends.
because they were Romanised by the latin culture of the Roman empire, but their origins are celtic galec and basque!
I strongly believe the Celts came from the lost Atlantis civilization in Spain not from Germany. They were in the one place where Celtic-speakers have always been known to exist and where some still do exist, north-western and Western Europe. The modern nations and territories of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Cornwall, England, Brittany, western France, Spain and Portugal formed the historic heartland of the Celts and their ancient place of origin. Their music still plays in those places with the pipes and the culinary culture is very similar in my experience not so much in Germany. I think Germany have more in common with Scandinavian on their looks and in their pagan origins.
and the explanation why the Irish and British look similar to Germans more than they will do with the Spanish of today is because of the Vikings domination in those islands. I believe Germans are closer to Scandinavian countries and the Vikings fail to conquer the home birth of the Celts because of their superior technology.
This is probably the Best video on Celtic History, I have Ever seen! Awesome job researching & making this video.
I live in Nova Scotia on the eastern coast of Canada, and I'm not sure if this is 100% true but I have heard that there are actually more speakers of Scottish Gaelic in our tiny province than in all of Scotland. In my school Gaelic is actually taught alongside French. The island of Cape Breton in the north of Nova Scotia has large communities of Gaelic speakers and even hosts a Gaelic college. Oh and also, assumingely for the purpose of revitalisation only since there are few 1st language speakers, all of our road signs and even some signs in buildings are written in English and Gaelic! I believe we are one of the only areas in Canada that speaks a minority language other than French besides the northern territories with the Inuit languages. Unless you consider Newfoundlander a separate language from English, which honestly sounds so close to Irish it should be another dialect of the Celtic family. 😜
that awesome good to hear it doing well up there i really don't get why some Scots would go to south of america the heat is annoying as f all the best from the highland of scotland

The Isle of Man people claim not only to be pre-Anglo-Saxon, but also pre-Celtic. They tend to be darker skinned than either group.
When my scottish ancestors migrated to New Zealand in the 1800s they only spoke gaellic, and had to learn english when they moved here.
Interesting!
same with most Irish immigrants to America in the 1800s, in the American revolution Irish troops were some common in the Continental Army it was said Gaelige was spoken as frequently as English
A lot of Kiwis have Scottish ancestry
I’m from New Zealand aswell my ancestors were Irish and also only spoke Gaelic when they arrived over 200 years ago
Love your stuff, Masaman. Very well presented and, as far as I can tell, well researched.
I've wanted a video about the ancient Celtic people for so long, thank you so much
~ Thanks for covering this! ~... Love reading about the Celts. A group of peoples of Iron Age Europe. One of the most widespread groups of the time, at their greatest extent in the 3rd century BCE they dominated a vast territory across Europe and Anatolia. Among the major Celtic peoples were the Gauls, Belgae, Armoricans, CeltIberians, ancient Britons and Irish. The Celts first appear in history in the writings of Greek historians of the 5th and 6th centuries BCE. In it's earliest usage, the term 'Celt' (Greek 'Keltoi') was used specifically to describe the peoples who lived inland from the Greek colony of Massalia (modern Marseille, France).
Later the term was used virtually synonymously with the Greek word 'Galatoi' (Galatians) and a related Latin word 'Galli' (Gauls) to describe more generally the 'barbarian' peoples of central and western continental Europe. The origins of these terms are actually unknown, but, likely, they probably originated with the Celts themselves, as we find them used as elements in tribal, family and personal name's (for example, 'Celtici' and 'Gallaeci').
Written records of the Celts may begin only c. 6th century BCE, but their origins lie at least 2000 years earlier. The Celtic languages, like most modern European languages, developed from Indo-European. This long-extinct language was introduced by migrating Indo-Europeans sometime between 7000 and 4000 BCE. Most linguists believe that Celtic developed in central Europe and was subsequently spread across western Europe by migrations.
Because there is little material evidence to support this hypothesis, some archaeologists think it more likely that the Celtic languages evolved across much the same area were they were spoken at the beginning of historical times (c. 500 BCE), that is central Europe, France, Iberia and the British Isles, respectively. Two forms of Celtic are recognized: q-Celtic, which I think included Hispano-Celtic and Goidelic (i.e. the ancestor of modern Gaelic), and the more widespread p-Celtic, which included Gaulish and Brithonic (the ancestor of modern Welsh and Breton).
The earliest archaeologically recognizable material culture that can be safely identified as 'Celtic' is the central European *Hallstatt* culture which flourished in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age (c. 700-450 BCE). These were the first Celts to come into contact with the literate Mediterranean civilizations, 'as the Celts always distrusted script and preferred to rely on speech, oral tradition, and properly trained memories down the generations. Around 450 BCE the Halstatt culture was supplanted by the *La Tene* culture, which developed to the northwest, in the Rhineland and eastern France. The distinctive geometrical art-style of this culture was spread, mainly by trade in metalwork, throughout most of the Celtic-speaking world. This culture remained influential till' the Middle Ages in Britain and Ireland.
Rhoesaces Rheomithres loved your analysis on the celts I have a question did ancient celts In main land Europe have bagpipes?
+Mace 6 Thanks. Oh, yes they did, but I'm not sure if it was made similar to that of the Irish Musical instruments, it's exact descripton, or what exact material it was made of actually. The Celtic culture's loved music, and were extremely superb craftsmen of all sorts, you name it. That's a question that I hadn't thought actually, so I can't answer directly. It's theorized that Bagpipes may have roots, somehow, from a simple form of animal skin/hide, which was inflated into a type of stomach-sized bag (not too different from our modern bagpipe's dimensions) for the carrier, that the Assyrians used to cleverly utilize if they were to attack, say, a fortified and harder to reach enemy (namely, at times - the rival *Hittites) across water, as it quickly transported the soldier without being seen as he's laying on his stomach and is hard to spot with eyesight( blending with the tumultuous water). Basically an early and ingeniously contrived type of makeshift platform that helped a man to swim across fast-flowing rivers, and therefore enable them to mount surprise attacks on the enemy. Perhaps I can suggest this interesting discourse/vid on 'Bagpipes' and their origin, it's connection to the various Celt tribes in general to you - th-cam.com/video/ZWCYggMFMZA/w-d-xo.html
Rhoesaces Rheomithres it's awesome it had traces back to ancient middle eAst where it spread to the celts thanks, are you a historian? You have a well knowledge of this I'm looking to be a historian
Mace 6 It does indeed. Very fascinating stuff. No, I'm afraid I'm not a historian, nor am I by any means an 'expert' in the slightest of terms, just am a bit highly enthusiastic when it involves these topics, I'd say. But what a coincidence lol, because I always loved the notion that hopefully in the near future I'd be a Professor of Ancient Histories, after I complete a special course in a university and acquire a Diploma or PHD on my preferred subject, not sure on what exact time frame though. But History and Anthropology, in particular, is a vast field of life and you need to have knowledge of many, which I'm trying my best. I'm stuck in college now, studying general history for the past 2 and a half years, but to be a qualified professor - takes a lot more.
Rhoesaces Rheomithres good luck in your field
Yours is the most fascinating channel anywhere. You answer my lifelong questions.
Great channel! :D
I'm Cornish and most people you ask wouldn't even know Cornish was a Celtic nation, hell, some don't even know we had a language at all other than English.
I'm planning on trying to learn Cornish but it's a bloody tough language due to its extreme difference from English.
Great work :) keep it up
@John Johnny what the f..k are you trying to say?
@John Johnny you're a dumb fucking dick head. DNA doesn't lie.
How close is Cornish to Welsh, as a language?
Celtic peoples of today are Breton people , Cornish people , Welsh people , Irish people , Manx people and Scottish people the way Iranic peoples of today are Persian people , Kurdish people , Pashtun people , Ossetian people and others
you should do a video on the kingdom of Navarre, or just the history of the basque people in general. love your videos man, really appreciate how careful you are covering topics, while still uploading consistently. hope to see more dude good shit
I'd love to watch a video on Aquitania under the Romans and how their language survives today as Euskara
I'd like that, too, but that's a tough one. So much is unknown, and so much that is "known" is heavily disputed. Fascinating subject, though.
Sad that so few know our dying language yet in School's we learn French or German.
@Carmicha3l They definitely aren't. Do you speak any yourself?
@Carmicha3l Not really.They are different and unique people who are dying...
I'm Spanish and plan to learn Irish Gaelic. Also Old Norse which isn't Celtic. Many more. Glad I finished learning English. That one's retarded.
@@barbatvs8959 you write good English. Its a major language. As is Spanish. Its handy to know .
Learning French and Spanish are ok because they tried help us get rid of the english.
Thanks for mentioning friulian! Awesome job man
You wouldnt believe it, but most of the archeological remains in NW Portugal is not from the Romans, but from these so-called Celts. So, it is very common, one stumps on it often. the fascinating thing is those ruins are at least 2100 yrs to 3000 yrs old!
you are an ignorant. I'm stating known and studied facts. It is Portugal by a long shot. It is incomparable, those ruins in Portugal are larger, older and in a bigger number. Galicia boasts that because of its situation, while Portugal does not, because there is no issue within the country, and there is no regional goverrnment. Old historians in Galicia even claimed they had Abóbriga, which was a town by the Ave river in Portugal, per its name and ancient historians accounts, still some old historicans in Galicia were claming the site for some of their modern cities without archeological remains. Wishful thinking... and we dont even know the true site in Portugal, because around that river alone, there are many different ruins.
Pedro4490 Of course. They belong to us as much as they beling to Ireland. Even in some parts in Extremadura archeological excavations have found Celt evidence in the region and some people there are red-haired and blondes. I know more than one.
LjFJDhs Ya decía yo que el sustrato celta en España es muy fuerte. Acabas de describir a más del 70% de los españoles. Yo misma soy castaña muy clara tanto de pelo, como de piel y ojos.
LjFJDhs I don't know but here in Brazil there are a lot of redheads of Portuguese descendant.
Pedro4490 “stumbles”
I live in Argentina, I have a friend who doesnt even look European but his grandpa is from a celtic colony and he speaks a celtic language! My wife is brazilian but her grandpa was scottish and she has a scottish surname. I dont have celtic blood that I know of, but its true, they're everywhere!
It's always interesting to see videos about Celts, and yours was, as always, better-researched than the average. As for me, my mother's people are Cornish-Australian (mid-north South Australia is primarily Cornish... there was mining) and my father's family claims to be Scottish, although as you point out, they did spend a few generations in British India. He himself grew up in Scotland though. Despite having grown up in Australia, I do speak Gaelic, and I speak it pretty much on a daily basis, although the Gaelic-speaking community here is small (about 700 - there are more Irish-speakers, around 1000). There are also Welsh-speakers - and I sing in a Welsh-language choir and have Welsh-speaking friends as well as Irish-speaking ones (although I have to speak English to the Welsh-speaking friends - with Irish-speakers we can understand each other!)
Naturally I know a lot about Celts in the modern world - speakers of Celtic languages, anyway - as it's something that concerns me! I'm quite interested in Celts in the ancient world. Our oral tradition takes us back a thousand and a half years in songs and stories alone, but I was always fascinated by the Galatians in the Bible (as a kid, I thought that book was written especially to us) and also by stories of the Gauls from the Romans - Vercingetorix who almost defeated Julius Caesar, Boudicca and the others who rebelled as well. It's fascinating to think that Celts battled - and sometimes won against - Romans.
Great educational video, thanks! 👏👏👏
How did the Celtic Nations Dominate Europe and Beyond?
That wasn't answered at all.
I expected historical and archeological evidence about the expansion of the celts. Hallstatt or La Tène cultures weren't even mentioned.
Instead I got shown the distribution of celtic languages and people.
Through their people which is their biggest export.
@Britannic hayyomatt Sure, if you go back far enough, we all have common ancestry. BUT: Please explain then the linguistic differences between Germanic peoples and Celtic peoples.
@Britannic hayyomatt Germans and Celts ARE different ethnically. I can tell the difference usually by looking at them. Sure the English are very similar to the Germans, and a mongrel Celt can have similarities too, but a 100% ethnic Celt DOES look different to a German or Sais/Sasenach. You may not know the difference, but we recognise our own.
@Britannic hayyomatt .
@Britannic hayyomatt that's not entirely true. Proof of a unified culture from Germany to Ireland, Iberia and Georgia show distinctly similiar metal worked goods, the same woven knot motifs, mine systems, systematic enslavement of Slavic people, horse and chariot culture, iron weapons, and funeral rites. They hit every single marker for a unified culture tied together through trade.
The archaeological sites are plenty. Research that.
There is also no sign of genetic variance with the Goths. They are the same people.
Keltoi in Greek actually means- stranger. And it is entirely possible that they use this word because it was their name and at one point were the only strangers they knew. We will never know that.
Unlike Romans, Greeks, Persians, and other tribes of their times, they had no interest in conquering and holding lands. They had no existing, over reaching monarchy.
The histories of encounter with them usually describe them as invading, pillaging, then accepting a bribe to leave. They resented town life, kept to villages and settlements. They liked beer and wine, and preferred it to be undiluted.
Frankly, there is a lot to know about the Celtic people if you look into it.
The Celtic people of Europe, to this day , are largely of their original stock, around 86%.
Their second most common shared heritage in the Isles and Basque is Stone-Age hunter gatherers.
They were able to be this widespread, and hold this massive territory basically because all the other competition were too busy fighting among themselves and didn't want to bother crossing mountains. This left a vast area of plains for them to spread out upon, and they could farm.
The people that already lived where they moved into, basically Cro-Magnons, could not farm. With no stable winter stores, the Celts were able to breed or kill them out very easily. DNA suggests they chose making babies instead of blood oaths.
We also know that they mastered chariot making, bronze, and Iron before the greeks or Romans. The entombed pre Greco-Roman swords have been discovered to validate this.
Frankly...it's one of the most interesting stories of a tribe there is. They might have fought among themselves, like as a sport, but they dominated the whole of the continent for thousands of years, while the Greeks, Romans and others were battling for supremacy of the Mediterranean Sea.
Probably the biggest reason that they failed when Rome finally expanded north, is that they just weren't the type of people that cared about empires.
Seems like getting drunk, having a brawl, and making cool stuff was just what they liked doing.
I am very proud of my irish ancestry. Great video
I've long thought Galacia was a part of the Celtics. Glad to hear it is.
Excellent video!
In Portugal, although we were heavily romanized, some celtic words and culture still linger.

Christianity kept Ireland alive, bro. It didn't erase anything there. Ireland has no martyrs until the Viking invasions because they embraced Catholicism with no violence.
In fact the Catholics also tried really hard to keep native languages alive in Latin America, translating the Bible into Nahuatl for instance. I understand if you have a problem with the Spaniards etc but the Church tried to *save* the natives from them.
I think we are all agreed that +Rolman80 80 is an ignoramus.
Rolman 80 30 there are TONS of Mayan peoples in Mexico, and they still even speak Mayan. Their conversion to Christianity didn't stop them from resisting being integrated into Mexico proper. From the 1840s to the early 20th century, there were independent Mayan states in the area now known as Quintana Roo, and they were even recognized by foreign nations such as the United Kingdom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_War_of_Yucatán

Congratulations! Your videos are very interesting indeed. I suggest that you consider adding at least Galicians and Asturians from Iberic peninsula to the list of Celtic nations. It seems to me a bit artificial to exclude them being them so overwhelmingly Celtic in all the aspects of life and history (except the language). Also, their immigration to Argentina, has added a big plus to the high percentage of Celtic blood of our population. Thanks!
I am breton and proud of it ! Even if I dont speak Breton because my my mother's family is from South-Eastern Bretagne, I really love my culture. Notice that the crepes that everyone loves is a Breton speciality ! There is a lot of food which are very delicious such as " galette-saucisses" " kouign-amann" " caramel au beurre salé" and so on ! Go visit Bretagne, you will not regret ! ( yes I'm the marketing manager of Bretagne, so what ? XD)
With Western Europeans having become so demoralized, i think there's never been a better time to assert Breton culture.
Breizh Atao!
To me he doesnt look like a snob. And while I dont think that in this case any culture is genuinely more "great" than any other, britanny is still a unique case in my eys. Bretons arent just some random people in some casual french region, they are celtic people, with their own distinct language, culture and identety. Only through being "proud", and living the breton identety additionally to the french one, britanny lives on.
Yes. Well actually "just" half breton, but its still important for me.
Moi aussi je suis breton ,Breizh eo ma bro !
Very good informative
I love this account man it’s got every video I need. As soon as i think of a topic you have a video of it .
I am romanian and live in spain and I can tell you both coumtries have also some celtic cultural stuff integrated, especially in music and some festivities but not so much in language
It's pronounced "Keltic" like a hard C sound not "seltic" just so ya know!! :)
Tamara he said that
seltic
+Tamara Except in the NBA......
Tamara While that is widely believed it's not actually true. There is no academic consensus nor any historical consistency on the correct pronunciation.
That's why Glasgow Celtic is pronounced just like the Boston Celtics...
So, while it may ruin a great Richard Burton anecdote you can actually pronounce Celtic either way.
percy blakeney It's proven by the way it's pronounced in the country of origin, E.G. Ireland sooo.. ya nobody ever says it any other way
I’m proud of my Celtic ancestry. I have family ties to Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Northern England(the northern part is very important to me)
Northern England is not a Celtic region.
@@mikesaunders4775 some of it is
@@badugm5035 Not in any permanent sense,although it is well to remember that parts of northern England retained a residual Celtic culture longer than the south and east. The name Cumberland for example, alludes to the Welsh-speaking Britons that were still present in the area at the time of Athelstan,the northern part was actually a part of the old kingdom of Strathclyde.
Eventually the region became largely Scandinavian in character as Norwegian settlers and vikings expelled from Dublin became the principal cultural group.
Much of the reason that these isolated remnants of Brythonic people survived was due to the rugged Highland/upland terrain,that the incoming 'Angles' (they called themselves English) were completely unused to ,arriving from a low-lying marshy continental homeland. All the best stay well.
It's probably why the Austrian and Swiss talk weird-sounding German, like when Irish and Scottish talk in English.
No its not because of that. Its a dialect and it comes Naturally with the Evolution of Language.
Well fuck you😂
No, all getmans, except the small region where luther was born (he translated the bible into his local dialect, which therefore became high german) talk wierd. Only in recent time most children in germany learn high german as their first language.
@G G don't abuse 😠
Or how i talk after a few beers rocki mae faine auhgist neof...pretty sure i butchered that
It's actually 10-15% of the population of Ireland that speak Irish natively and the Irish language is taught as a compulsory subject in all schools in Ireland. But you are right about 1/5 of the Irish population speaks it fluently as a second language.
They are not teaching it properly in our schools...Funny dat.....
Only 1% if the Irish speak Irish as a first language...
Cornwall is actually in Southwest England
I was so confused, cuz I saw water to the west and I was like how the hell is this in Southeast England? Guess he mispoke
My Mom wasn't thrilled about my decision to grow my hair long again, but i told her with all the Vikings, Celts, & Cherokee in our family tree, long hair is more naturally fitting than short!
Long hair is the natural state of all humans!
Sarah Dain I've also got Celtic & Cherokee blood.

It pronounced “HEH-bruh-deez”
Daniel Eskridge Thanks. That one hit my WTF bone as well.
Yeah that's super embarrassing, even as an American it sounds bizarre and makes it hard to take anything the speaker says about Celtic language or culture seriously.
Two quick points:
1. You said Cornwall is Southeastern England, while it is SouthWESTERN.
2. You seem to have used the word "alas" wrongly. Alas implies that it is unfortunate, and I take umbrage with the idea that it is unfortunate that the Celts were not completely conquered and wiped out by the Germanic tribes. No doubt you simply misspoke, but if not, come fight me bro! :)
FYI, I am American of pure Irish/German descent. I imbibed Irish history with my mother's milk.
Anyway, good video overall. I was actually surprised to hear the Celtic homeland was in central Europe, I remember reading (albeit about 2 decades ago) that it was in central Anatolia, but I may well have remembered it wrong, and anyway central Europe makes sense. Keep up the good work Mason, I always enjoy your videos.
Interesting: The Boii gave their name to Bohemia. The Boii founded a city on the site of modern Prague, and some of its ruins are now a tourist attraction. According to a 2000 study by Semino, 35.6% of Czech males have y-chromosome haplogroup R1b, which is common among Celts but rare among Slavs. There are claims among modern Czechs that the Czech people are as much descendants of the Boii as they are from the later Slavic invaders (as well as the historical Germanic peoples of Czech lands) Also most of the Czech rivers have Celtic or old Germanic name origin.
well I agree with everything but Slavs were not invaders there were actually saving remaining numbers of Boii before to be eliminated by aggressive Germans
both sides Czech tribes and Celts realized that they can coexist together and resist to Germans if they simply mixed together ...
and other wrong call is not true actually German names of rivers and cities are Slavic names only difference is that Germans assimilated Slavic tribes and force them to speak German in long run.... Berlin is Slavic origin name found by western Slavic people .... eastern Germans are basically German speaking Slavs
unfortunately they become more German than Germans it self and fanatically hated Slavs
Here come that boii
In Slovakia we have also some rivers with celtic names, Hron for example. Boii, Cotins and Osos lives here.
Nice video, it's interesting to see the influence of insular 'Celtic' peoples on the world stage, they obviously liked to migrate. Myself I am 100% 'Celtic' of Scottish, Welsh and Irish origin but ironically living in England (with no English origin), but that's the way it's always been. 'Celtic' people are also very phenotypically diverse.. though the world (albeit mostly the Celtic diaspora of US) likes to portray ethnically 'Celtic' people as red hair rosy skinned, alcohol consuming warlords.. at least the Phenotypical description is quite rare. I think mixing of modern Celtic, Germanic and Nordic people have led to these traits... I can only summise, with myself being an example (or maybe an outlier?) that Celts without additional mixing look very much like other western European people including those of western Iberia.
Shwmae i'r pobl celtiaidd rownd y fyd!

"The islands if the "He-brides" ?"
It is produced "Heh-briddeez"
And yes, you forgot Galicia in Spain.
Most places beginning "Wal" or "Gal".
Good that you mentioned "Galatia" in Turkey ?
It was like a fingernail on the blackboard when he said that.
Well, even Northern Italy and Switzerland were gaulish (celtic) lands, inhabitated by celts before the roman expansion. In N. Italy, for example, you still have dialects spoken by a lot of people and they are called Gallo-romance dialects, except for venetic that is another dialect. But of course as well as france and spain, we all adopted romance languages and culture and of course the roman mixed with celts and later with germanic too.

@@edwinvancooten7630 I used to play a lot of MineCraft. And there was a saying: Never waste your diamonds on a hoe.
The name for Wales comes from Anglo-Saxon, roughly meaning ‘foreigner’
Could you make a video about the pre-Indo-European languages like Uralic and Basque?
DeerGod 702 Uralic languages are way newer then indo European but the basques would make a awesome video
There are speculations about Basque being related to Georgian, a caucasian language
Actually, as far as the Uralic languages go, it's Hungarian that's rather peculiar, in spite of being the one language with the highest number of speakers. Both Finland and Estonia lie considerably close the hypothetical original homeland of the Uralic languages, on either the Western or Eastern side of the Ural. Their ancestors have lived on these lands for at least 4,000 years.
Soem of the mor warmongering Uralic tribes actually tried their luck furthe down South. Ultimately, the Magyars and others didn't settle in what is now Hungary until the 9th century AD. Over time, they forced their language upon the Slavic and Romanian-speaking population they found there (which is why today's Hungarian DNA doesn't differ dramatically from that of its immediate neighbors).
He should do Cyrodillic language first since its more well known and significant to human history.
Uralic is not "pre Indo-European" they arrived in Europe after Indo-Europeans, however yes Basques were there first.
yup i'm from canada and have mainly scottish and french heritage, i speak french too (first language). this is really interesting!
A small side note: Brythonic languages were still commonly used, such as Cumbric, in Northern England in what had been the Hen Ogledd (Old North) kingdoms well into the 12th Century and possibly as late as the 15th Century in some isolated communities in the West Riding of Yorkshire, which comprised the Sub Roman British kingdom of Elmet.
Excuse me dear but you're leaving out the Celtic nations of Galizia, Asturias (Northern Spain) and Portugal. Actually, before the Celts arrived in the UK they were first in Galizia and Asturias. Do your research and you'll find this to be true.
He said that in the video
Celtiberians...
the Celts were Iberian , and originated in north Africa , well that people or tribes come from north Africa and after establishing in Iberia they went up to Ireland Scotland and England
@@danythrinbell1596 wrong that is a myth we I mean irish people our ancestors came from england and wales the Celtic who came to the British isles where from France and Austria we are not black or middle eastern
@@o-o2399 a myth is what everyone been saying until today that only the Irish and the scotchs were Celtic people but the iberians got more bigger ancestral proofs about they Celtic roots that the dittos Irish and scotch just because they Celtic language reached until our days does not make them even Celtic language can be adopted , lots of people speak English language and they are not English, inheritance and culture is a more undeniable fact about peoples roots and the Iberian got everything in they favor swallow your pride you are not Celtic , Irish people are hibernates not Celtic
2:11 The Hebrides is pronounced HEH-bruh-deez!
But He-Brides was a hit comedy in 2032...
Can you do more on the celtic being and spain id really like to hear another video detailed on that, i think itd be interesting 👍👌
Great vid, there is also the Cumbrian language which has a seriously small amount of people who speak it
The nowadays Celtic culture is almost NOTHING to do with the Ancient times Celtic culture. The Ancient times Celtic culture disappeared after the romans, and in the British islands change so much under the medieval ages and modern times. Even the languages change so much under the influence of the Latin or Germanic based languages.
Little or no Germanic influence in the Irish language except for modern inventions etc.
Donetsk in Ukraine/Donbass was founded by Welsh industrialists.
Would be cool if you did a video on less known 19th Century cross Europe migrations like this :)
I’ve recently found out that I have a Celtic ancestry and I’ve been trying to learn about them. So thank you for the video.
At 1:10 you describe Cornwall as being on the south-easternmost peninsula of Great Briton. That should be south-westernmost. I know, it seems like a minor misspeak, but I like to count on your material as accurate since I link to your videos regularly since I started viewing them.
The Celts will rise again!
Yes I do hope we get up tomorrow morning, God willing :)
No we won't were a vary small part of the population compared to every one else
I, your friendly mud hut dweller, have risen again. My Celtic neighbours in the street did as well. I got up yesterday, had breakfast, and I got up again today. Hurrah! I am going to decorate my mud hut tomorrow for Christmas with dinosaur bones :)

Portugal = Porto Gael. The name 'Celts' is more or less an English variant of how these people referred to themselves as 'Gaels' or Gaelic, or 'Gaul' in Latin. The Spanish region Galicia, home to many people from the Celtic stock, refers to the same Gaelic origin - Gael-ic-ia. The true origin of the Celts is vague. It is certain that at some point they roamed around the Caucasus and Black Sea area, and according to some of their legends they are descendents from Egyptian pharaos. This explains why the DNA of pharaos have so much in common with people from the Celtic stock, and why for example, the use of the bagpipe can be found not only in Scotland and Galicia, but also in Egypt and other parts of the Middle-East. Your video is very disappointing.
"The name 'Celts' is more or less an English variant" -- lol, no. 'Celtic' was (re-)introduced by Celticists in the 16th century -- and popularised by Edward Lhuyd in the 18th century largely as an effort to group together the pre-Roman 'Britons' (Gaelic and Brythonic) -- from the much earlier Greek term 'Κελτοί', although the precise etymology of that term is unclear.
Also, 'Gaul' is not Latin, it's a corruption of the Proto-Germanic endonym 'walhaz' ("foreigner"/"non-German", wherefrom 'Wales', 'Cornwall', 'Wallonia' and 'Vlach'/'Wallachia' are obtained) or alternative form 'walhiska-' -- originally a designation of the Celtic tribal confederation referred to be the Romans as 'Volcae' -- and not derived from the Old Irish exonym 'Goídel', wherefrom 'Gael' is obtained. The Latin endonym was 'Galli' or 'Galatai', and is etymologically unrelated to either of these, possibly borrowed from Proto-Celtic 'galno-' ("power, strength"), or 'gal-nV-' ("to be able to", "to gain control of").
LOL the Celts being descendants of Egyptian pharoahs!
Not the Celts discussed in this video. But because the last ruling class of Egypt that called themselves "pharaohs" were actually Greeks (e.g. Cleopatra's father, grandfather, etc.) following the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great's army and the subsequent Hellenist domination of that region following his death,, it's possible that the "Kelts" you mention are descendants of those Greek-Egyptians.
LOL! Okay! Keep believing this nonsense!
Celt is a word of ancient Greek origin. It basically meant all the foreigners or barbarians to the North of Greece and the Mediterranean.
It was revived in the 18th century "Celts" which is basically a linguistic group like "Germanic" or "Romance" describes people's who inhabited to some degree from Iberia, France, Northern Italy, a large part of Germany, the Balkans, Eastern Europe and even into Turkey.
I'm English but if you look at my ancestry, I'm a bit short of English ancestry. On my Mum's side, we're English, Welsh and Cornish. On my Dad's side we have a lot of Irish immigrants. His Dad was Irish. His Mum's grandmother was Irish. His Mum's grandfather had two Irish grandparents. And there's more Irish immigrants going back farther than that.
When I did a DNA test I was 40% Irish, 30% Scottish (????) 11% English, 10% Swedish and 9% Norwegian. The Scottish, Swedish and Norwegian must be really old because I found recent DNA matches in England and Ireland, but no one in those three countries.
I think people forget that there's been centuries of Irish, Scottish and Welsh moving to England for work.
Portuguese has over 1,500 celtic words in the language. Portugal was once called Portus Cale. Portus being latin and Cale being celtic. If you travel to the north of Portugal you will see the traces of the celts in the ancient Celtic hill forts like Citania de Biretieros, scattered around the land and the Celtic symbols still used in the 12th century buildings. The bag pipe, or Gaita-de-fol is a traditional instrument in the north, in the region of the Minho and Tras os Montes. The Craetos of Podence and Lazarim in the North east of the country still practice one of the oldest traditions ever practiced in the modern world. They dress in exotic clothing representing spirits and they travel around the village in recognition of the transition from fall to winter or winter to spring. Celtic roots are strong in Portugal and Northern Spain, I personally have been there to see it.
What about Galicia?
michael avila celtic but not the language
Aidan Woodford Genetic studies show that British and Irish Celts weren’t related to Spanish Celts at all just through a cultural system. The British and Irish have a large amount of Yamnaya DNA while the Iberians barely have any. In fact, the British and Irish are genetically closer to Germans than to Iberians.
Aidan Woodford Correction, northern Iberians *are* Celtic just they don’t have as much Indo-European DNA as the British and Irish
What about Galicia?
Spain not only galicia
The Celts were Artists, story tellers and dreamers. Their imaginations stemmed from their fears and awe they felt in the great dark forboding forests of Europe. The least Romanised and Anglicised are the spirits and sprites of the mysticism of the dawn of that civilisation. The artists and dreamers harken back to the old times. Long may we remember and honour them.
Think, what would the world be today without the Scots scientists, Irish minstrels, and writers, Or the Welsh poets and songstrels.
Cuba has a strong connection to the Irish. There's a hour plus documentary on TH-cam called the Irish of Cuba. Very interesting to see how the Celts got around.

Islands north of Scotland are pronounced- Heb Bridd Ees.
Three specific syllables.
Very interesting. Do you have any works on Celtic influence in Northwestern Iberia?
Hello Masaman. I have a question for you. Some of my ancestors were from Gwynedd in Wales. I notice now on the map of Brittany you are showing as I type this, the name Gwened Vannes included in the Celtic areas. Do you have any information on how there might be a connection between the two?
Welsh, Cornish, Breton are basically the same language (Brythonic)
The word Celt was a blanket term to describe Barbaric tribes not only the Celtic tribe. The Native Britons weren't actually called Celts they were called Britons until the 18th century. Britain was inhabited by the Britons the Picts came over during the late iron age as did the Gaels. Scotland/North England is called "Yr hen Ogledd" in Welsh meaning the old North similarly England is called Lloegr meaning the lost lands. Its believed that the tribes in Britain + Ireland had been there since 15000-7500BC (the oldest home found was built around 11000BC) it is also believed that pre Roman invasion Welsh tribes and Irish tribes traded with each other.

"Compared to the strict military organization of Rome’s legions, the Celts were much less disciplined. Ancient reports often speak of unorganized detachments; in open-field battles, the Celtic warriors’ strategy seems to have been mainly to charge towards the enemy and to overpower them by sheer force.
Elaborate strategies and clever tactics were apparently not for the Celts. This may be due to a peculiarity in the Celtic mentality, which honored individual skill in battle more than the disciplined and concerted actions of many warriors of a combat team. "
Mars Lars thanks for posting a wiki quote.
Ya, that sounds like my people.
That's how Caesar overwhelmed the Gauls although the Gauls out numbered the Romans 3 to 1. The Gauls were different tribes and only united under Vercingetorix to fight the Romans.

@@rachelsombo9045, no, they were Baltic. Close, but not quite. But, Vikings were comprised of both Baltic & Slavic.
I'm French and from what i know : The Gaullish languages were quickly replaced by latin because the Celtic language didn't have a written form back then, which meant transmission was almost impossible in a context when it's better to learn Latin to evolve in society.
This is very good. Although I've got English face painting I'm also half Irish/Scottish/Welsh & this guy knows his stuff 👍
