Not really surprising. There are two basic Celtic languages in the British isles - Goidelic (gaelic) and Brythonic (British/Breton/Welsh). In Roman times most of Britain spoke some form of Brythonic language, whilst Ireland spoke Goidelic, then the Irish invaded what is now Scotland and brought their language to Britain and the Angles and Saxons invaded what is now England and brought their language (English) to most of Britain, forcing some Britons to emigrate to Brittany and take their (Brythonic) language with them

Punjab means five rivers, not so different to "pum afon" in Welsh, which is remarkable considering the time and distance between them (and the comparative proximity of Latin and Oscan)

You don't have to delve much deeper too find more of these cognates. Others have pointed out "cú" for "hound" in Irish, but there's also "anocht" for "tonight", which comes from the noun "nocht" in Old Irish. Comparison to Romance languages would also show more similarities than comparison to English.

TLDR: The Welsh translation of leaf is incorrect. "Dail" is the plural ie leaves, "deilen" would be the singular leaf. Longer explainations for those interested in the technicals: My above statement is TECHNICALLY not true. In English, nouns only have one system relating to the count of a noun, this being singular/plural. Welsh (and the other Brythonic languages, Cornish and Breton, though idk about the Goidelic branch) have two different count systems that nouns can fall under: singular/plural or collective/unit. In terms of translation collective will usually correspond to the plural in English, and similarly unit to singular. The s/p system in English and in Welsh involves the singular form of the word being the "base" word in some sense, which is then modified often using suffixes or internal vowel change to form the plural. The c/u system however consideres the collective form, usually denoting a group of things, to be the "base" word, with this being modified similarly to then form the unit, the thing that makes up the group. While these sound similar, hence the ease of just translating collective nouns as some English plural and unit nouns as some English singular they have a bit of a different vibe requiring some nuance. One difference, as I explained above, is which in the pair is considered the base. In Welsh, the singulars and the collectives are the bases despite collectives corresponding to plurals in English which are not the base in English. One other difference between collective and plural is that collectives have more connotations of some kind of group cohesion. The example of dail/deilen being leaves/leaf from the video is actually in some way the "go to" example of the nuanced difference. Dail and deilen are actually collective and unit nouns respectfully, technically not plural and singular. Above I translated dail/deilen which belongs to the c/u system as leaves/leaf which are of course plural and singular in English respectively. But dail depending on context can also be translated as foliage, an uncountable and SINGULAR noun in English. This kind of demonstrates how in terms of the vibe of a collective noun being one whole group rather than just multiple individuals like the English plural. Similarly a unit noun has connotations of being one constituent part of a greater whole which doesn't perfectly align with how singular nouns come across in English. The mistake in the video got me thinking about this count system nuance and is (in my opinion) a possible reason for the mistranslation, being possible confusion around c/u count system that don't exist in English. OR it is very possible it was just a misclick on the part of the author and I got to teach you some random fact that is completely irrelevant lmao. I hope someone finds this interesting! (Also as a disclaimer, this is from my knowledge of Welsh and while I know c/u count systems occur in Cornish and Breton, I don't know if my kind of abstract explaination of the nuances between c/u and s/p systems would necessarily be accurate to languages other than Welsh. So the c/u systems in the other Brythonic languages may not be exactly the same as my explanation, but will nonetheless be somewhat similar.) Oh I also very much enjoyed this video. I've been considering picking up Breton and while I of course knew it was a Brythonic language like Welsh, it's nice to tangibly see similarities which should make the journey fun and perhaps a touch easier.

Very curious to see how Breton language stayed really related to the 'Celtic' background although it makes me wonder...

Shockingly, in many if not most cases, English is closer to Proto-Keltic in chosen words. Modern Keltic languages are extremely different from their ancestor (Proto-Keltic or Aryan if you go further) while Germanic/Slavic languages are more conservative IMHO (in previous video about proto-Keltic one could literally guess more than 50% of words based on English/Latin/Slavic). A similar phenomena is common among Iranic languages: Pashto and Persian are as "similar" as Russian and Lithuanian

I personally think the concept here is wrong for Genetics like everything else points out that GaL moved between PortuGaL,BenGaL and MonGolia and being a so called HunGerian ,HonGRI ,Ongri,UGar,VenGRI,WanGER…MacAr ,MakAr ,Magyar who’s ancestors actually traced a GaL origins it interesting to se that like the Gabor has a meaning in West Gælic languages which in general points out a much larger TriBAAL alliance as modern so called history is willing to accept.

@悟飯 孫 First of all your racist attitude reveals how much actually you don’t know about topic and GaL who moved between PortuGaL,BenGaL and MonGolia due to which Ginger hair appears throughout A Sian continent which got its name after Sian-Scythian GaL tribal alliance who’s skin doesn’t is not peeling of in touch with Sun and most certainly is not a coloniser or invader group but a ancient group that left its mark. As so for your information so called IsRælites where a GaL pastoral,warrior tribal alliance and not Jewish-Greek Mediterranean Merchant who are not Me Sian group. The very writing system with which you wrote your user name was used by GaL and its related to Sumerian,ELomite and rest of pictorial writing system meaning just in case of Egyptian pharaohs who had a shepherd staff and scourge in they hands would trace they descendant from Shepherd Kings a Western-Central Sian land who often where a Ginger and Blonde which science have proved to the actual natural hair colour of of they points out that if such a people are foreigners in the land that Egyptian culture is foreign as well since the Solar cult developed in North where Sun is a life giving force after a Harsh winter compared to a equatorial region where the life source is water hence serpent cultures developed there and as who where and are seen as children of Son-Sun well a leave that you to decipher is a child of Dawn meaning Rising Sun someone with dark hair or Ginger just as the Sun 🌞 is it Golden colour like a blonde hair or dark? You take out GaL from the Bible and not only GaLilee disappear but EL,IsRæL…but very much most of thing which Greeko-Jewish Orthodoxy attempted to copy. Esau is described as one of many to have been Ginger and being one is not a matter of diet or climate but genetics.

@悟飯 孫 No the Chinese didn’t invented but adopted a Han writing system something that Chinese are not but a group conquered various groups starting from East cost towards which precisely the reason why in China there is over 90 active languages that are not Man Darien related where last Chinese dynasty clearly had a Negroid genetic influence.

@悟飯 孫 China is like Roma was meaning a republic in which only a small percentage of people can trace and is a so called Chinese for the rest is of different origins. If you are familiar in anyway with archaeology of so called China then you would know there are from various sources from which many has nothing to do with Chinese at all since to live in steppe or to move around in that central area or even through the continent one needed to be able to drink milk and milk products meaning to be of Shepherd pastoral tribal alliance something that where not part of a tribal alliance and can’t drink milk or eat milk products. Same issue is with Greeko-Jewish orthodoxy since it’s a copy cat culture that simply have no traces of pastoral,tribal ,warrior…culture since they where a merchant-traders in origins meaning if Jesus -Yeshu haven’t realised that Jews are not IsRælites he would have been most certainly a false prophet for Iberian peninsula was connected to CaucaSIAN Iberian Kingdom and Siberia but not via Mediterranean Merchants but via GaL who moved between PortuGaL,BenGaL and MonGolia. Simply because Han changes to Hun in some dialects it’s still the same name,title and group where a Hun Gerian is by name more Han then a Chinese.

@@aduantas Well it’s not for in my language Kelet means east where EL rises meaning the Sun hence Celt or Kelt as it’s meaning something that reflects your opinion where where majority can’t even explain the meaning of they own nation for a reason simply because they where though things that where not true or deceptive. None in Britain can explain even the meaning of ÆtELstan and what does it refers to and prior to that era there are not traditions left as who where there or what language they have spoken.

@悟飯 孫 Indo European theory is nonsense invented to replace Sian-Scythian with Mediterranean like people like Greeks arguing and being a continuation of Nazistic nonsense of Deutsch being a descendant of Nepalis and rest of nonsense. Western-Central Sian land was always inhabited it’s a historical fact like the linguistic fact that Deutsch actually call us HunGarian as UnGar like others UGar,HonGRI ,UGar ,OnGri ,VenGri,WanGer…man and not themselves since Ger Man where GaL Man. Genetics has proven that Hungarian are native to Árpádian basin from where according to genetics they moved towards West-East and South and retreated gradually in which time there was a constant migration from East and to East where fundamentally cultural but not genetical change appeared during first Hungary Roman Christian King who was later proclaimed as Saint by Rome known as István Király who also abandoned the title of Han and used the title Király . Indians never migrated West neither have Greek migrated East for between them where the Sian-Scythian who moved between them and how Hungarian are connected to various Asian groups even do being fundamentally disconnected from Asian land for very long surprised many Hungarians who get in touch and learned more about cultures and people living in East. This on its own is a huge issue for Roma since like in case of Csángó Hungarians who don’t even know any longer why they are called as such and when someone examine they traditions it becomes clear that they actually worship Virgin Mary and not Jesus calling here Baba as all mother and associating here with Moon it becomes clear for someone knowing some basics about Eastern Asian culture that Csángó as name is identical as so called Chang O known in to Chinese pointing the a continuation of beliefs where it wasn’t Rome who converted Hungarians a form of Christianity but it was Hungarians who converted Romans to a Christianity due to which they pray as Buddhist and and has a meditation tool called rosary which off course in general is a huge issue for Greeko-Roman world who likes to pretend to be a source culture around whom the world revolves.

Awful music. Thankfully turned it off.

None of the languages in Britain are celtic. Celts are from the south of France our languages are semetic Breton is the old English. The English are a British tribe too just like the rest of us they were just the first to have their history deleted. There are two good historians ( the only ones I trust anyway) one Welsh one English. Called Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett. Their evidence is undeniable. BBC, police , government, book publishers the acedemic community even the welsh library have all tried setting them up getting them arrested and even attempts on their lives. They tried to shut them up. Everything this duo have done has been paid for out of their own pocket. The establishment doesn't want the truth out. Because as soon as you know British history you know the world's history.

“ Undeniable “ ! You are in denial- Irish has the oldest vernacular literature in Western Europe! Now that is “undeniable “ ! ( Greek & Latin being Classical literature)! PS You are trying to make the (ancient) historical a political issue- a fool’s errand!

@@johntoffee2566 ?!An Cathach , Irish mid 6th century, title translates as “The Battler”. I’m afraid you have a bit of homework to do! Interestingly is the source of “the world’s first known copyright dispute “ between Saint Finnian and Saint Columcille ,the Irish missionary who founded Iona also Lindisfarne , bringing literacy . Irish monks then travelled further notably setting up monasteries in Gallen, in Switzerland (SaintGallen) ;Bobbio in Italy ,St Columba 614 AD ; in Franconia Bavaria 689 AD St Cillian - it is said that these monks even reached as far as Kiev on their missions! Proof, if you need it is in the literature still extant at these places: a statue of the venerated St Cillian stands in Wurzburg . Ireland consequently was called “the land of “ Saints & Scholars “ ….At that time noble families of Europe sent their offspring to Ireland to be educated..
