Hello, here an Asturian-Cantabrian. In effect, we lost the Celtic language in use, which should not be seen as good or bad, there was simply a linguistic assimilation with Latin, mainly due to the fact that it provided the grammatical and alphabetical structure that the Celtic and Celtiberians of the peninsula simply lacked. However, even today, many words in the Spanish language, and especially the Asturian and Cantabrian languages, have a direct etymology and origin from the Celtic language, such as the word "Igua", which means "to fix", and whose etymology comes from the Celtic-Hispanic root "ekotue" with the same meaning, like this word, many others trace their origin in this way, the list is very extensive. In short, we do not speak a Celtic language, but our regional languages are full of words whose origin is Celtic!!

My parents are both Colombian, but when we did ancestry testing I found that my paternal haplogroup is RCTS241, which is most commonly shared among people in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The best I could figure is it was a celtiberian ancestor, considering we know both my parents’ surnames originate in northern Spain. Kind of funny seeing my super tan, mesoamerican looking father and think “he shares an ancient ancestor with Scottish and Irish people”.

I think it may be more that the Celts were once more widespread but got gradually pushed to the western margins by successive waves of invasions and settlement from the east.

Although Asturian is a Romance language, some words and names of towns, mountains and rivers that contain Celtic roots are still preserved. Of course, also pre-Celtic Indo-European and Latin. Some possible examples of Celtic toponymy in Asturias are: Deva, Güelga, Beleño, Dobra, Candamo, Candás, Taranes, Bodenaya, Navia, Bedón, Güeña, Uerna, Candasu, Aller, Tarna, Beyos, Cangas, Comeya, Corros, Gamonal, Lena , Lugones, etc.

It should be noted that most of the people in Scotland today are Anglic and not Celtic. Scots were an Anglic culture that lived in the lowlands, that now house most of the country's population.

Cornish never really fully died out. It stopped being a community language at the end of the 18th century, but people always had some knowledge of the language which is how it got revived. There are around 500-600 speaker's today and growing. Also there are many Irish Gaelic speaking regions in Ireland, it's not "rarely" spoken. Standard Irish Gaelic is also taught in schools. I also wouldn't consider Northwestern Iberia Celtic as by that logic, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Southern Europe are also Celtic since there was once Celtic languages spoken there. Celtic refers to the culture and language which Northwestern Iberians i.e. Galicians and Asturians don't have. They are heavily romanized/latinized in language and culture.

My ancestors came from Ireland and Asturias.

next time include the nations around the alps region, there celtic settlere there too!

Also Breizh is still spoken by several hundred thousand and is experiencing a revival

I've heard some Scottish people say that only the west of Scotland is Celtic which historically would be quite true. Not done research on this myself though

Glossing over the claim of people groups in Spain as Celts despite not speaking a Celtic language, there are issues with the term "native language" used here for each of these countries besides the Isle of Man. In Ireland's county Wexford there was the Yola language, which as I understand is being maybe revived, as well as Ulster-Scots, a dialect of Scots which developed in Northern Ireland. In Brittany, Breton is the native language only of the Western or "Lower" part of Brittany, the East, or "Upper" part speaks Gallo. In Cornwall, Cornish is the native language mainly of the West whilst Anglo-Cornish is in the East. In Scotland, Gaelic is the language of the Western Highlands with Scots occupying Orkney and Shetland, the Eastern Highlands, the Lowlands and uplands near the border. In Wales, broad English dialects are the traditional language in the Welsh Marches, South Pembrokeshire and Gower. Even where they are native and historically dominant, Celtic languages weren't spoken everywhere, please bear that in mind.

If Galicia can be considered Celtic then the term basically has no meaning as it would imply that English, French, German and Turkish could also be considered Celtic. Those Iberian latins are simply appropriating the struggles of Celts who actually bothered to maintain their language to the point that they had to have their languages beaten out of them by their schools. While this is done with the purpose of contrasting their identity against the dominant ones in Madrid or Lisbon, doing so by appropriating Celtic-ness portrays such a telling lack of confidence in the sovereignty of their own identities. Neither Catalonians nor Occitanians pull this larp, so why do they?

Most indigenous English are of Celtic blood as they did not move away when the Romans, Danes and Normans invaded.
