As a Welshman, I have often thought about a united Celtic country although I think in reaity it would probably be more of an alliance like the EU. More focused on trade and military agreements. Dublin would probably be the capital as it is the probably the biggest city and definitely the most influential on the world stage. I think if it was to happen over hundreds of years you may end up with two main celtic languages being spoken, I think the Irish and Scottish gaelic languages would eventually merge as would the Welsh, Breton and Cornish, probably with English being a Lingua franca. In all honesty although us Celtic nations do get along due to our mutual similarities in culture I don't ever see us being united as a single country due to our differences and our fierce independent natures. But I really think a trade union would be best. Also, i'm very sorry Mason. But just awful pronunciation of "Y Wladfa".

Can I point out that a “revival” of the Welsh language doesn’t entirely explain why it’s still so strong in Wales. Yes, it has been revived in South Wales where it had declined through English migration in the industrial revolution. However, the language has always been relatively strong in North and West Wales however, the population of South Wales is bigger due to English migration. This skews the figures. Native Welsh are very much alive and kicking. We are very strong. 700,000 of us about you know..... We just go about our lives without making too much of a fuss however our culture and language is very important to us and we just speak the language without giving it much thought as that’s the language our mothers door to us and their mothers before them.

As for language and a Gàidhlig speaker, I can understand Welsh worries about us Goidelics bulldozing it to just ''Croeso'' etc ; but we'll find a way for us all to speak, more so than the Brits did with their Empire.

Oswald Mosley Wrong. In the US Irish ancestry makes up 33 million people, Welsh makes up 2 million, Scottish makes up 5 million, Scots-Irish makes up 3 million, while the English make up 46 million (genetic testing found that the English are 60% Celtic and only 40% Germanic). Add those up and you get 89 million which would be the largest in the US.

Masaman, as always, great video! Just wanted to say I was happy you mentioned Scots isn't a Celtic language. As a "Scots speaker" I just wanted to point out that the Scots dialect changes every 10 miles... and I'm not exaggerating. Colloquialisms will change quite drastically, as will the accent itself change from town to town. It is highly insular in that regard. My point, the Scots spoken in Aberdeen is going to be different from the Scots spoken in Orkney, Inverness, Glasgow, or Edinburgh. To say any of it is influenced by one thing is impossible, because of how rapidly the words used changes from town to town. Obviously you're on the money to say it's mostly English and Irish influenced, although there is a tiny bit of Welsh (through root words to old "Pictish", such as aber, pit, dun etc) I wanted to let you know that some of it seems to come at random. Bairn (meaning child), dreich (meaning grim), glaikit (meaning stupid), bonnie (meaning pretty) and braw (meaning good looking) come to mind, I'm not entirely sure of their etymologies but I wouldn't say bairn or glaikit is of obvious Irish, Welsh, or English origins... Some of these words seem to came about entirely by themselves, used mostly in one region, that maybe over time will get adopted into wider use among Scots. For example, all Scots speakers know the meanings of those words, but where you grew up in Scotland probably dictates if you will ever use them in actual speech. Bairn could be 'babi' (which I think is Welsh/possibly old Pict), but it could also be 'wee-un' depending on if you're north, south, east or west of the country.

How could someone dislike this?

Brittonic Celtics and those in Ireland were warring with eachother and also in the case of the Iceni confederation of tribes, violently attacked Roman rule. Like so many with rose tinted false reality view, you should really check. Irish Celtis also mixed a lot with Germanic stock and people totally forget that, they were also attacking what is now England and Wales with the Vikings later on. Besides which, genetically and historically, Celts and Germanic people are pretty much the same people, they developed a divergent language over time but thats about it.

Yes, he forgot Appalacha. I read about a branch of my Sullivan name and infamous Wild Bill Sullivan in Sullivan Hollow MS. My friend is a Garland her Scotts Irish ancestor married a Chaksaw Chiefs daughter and joined his clan with her tribe. Much history in them hills.

I'm flying to the Isle of Man later this week to visit friends. They are very excited about the effort to revive Manx. The Anglican Cathedral has begun to use a tiny bit of Manx in the liturgy. I understand there is interest in translating the entire liturgy into Manx though I am not aware of any other part than the Lord's Prayer being used in the revived language.

I have partial celtic ancestry, mainly from Scotland and Ireland; although I was born in South America. I´d definitely love to see a united celtic state where we can re-learn and speak the gaelic language without fears of it going extinct.

@@orangedude7632 your answer gives it away. In Europe they are Ulster Scots, in America they are Scots-Irish. The groups are closely related, but have some key differences. I'm descended from Ulster Scots in America. They were fond of the monarchy, proud that their Scottish brogue constituted "The King's English," and (until my father's generation) hated Catholics with a passion due to their history in Northern Ireland. These are not characteristics of the Scots-Irish, who historically were extraordinarily populist in the political and religious inclinations (many would be suspicious of Catholics too, but only because they followed an organized religion). The key factor is when they came over. My ancestors immigrated to the United States around 1900. By contrast, most Scots-Irish immigrated in the eighteenth century. Let me leave you with a quote by social historian James G. Leyburn: "Migration from Ulster, interrupted by the [American] Revolution, began again soon thereafter...These later comers, however, did not seek out Scotch-Irish [sic] communities in their country of adoption; they went instead to whatever places economic opportunity offered the best chance for making a home, as did the steady migration of Scots direct from Scotland. No doubt they, too, made their contributions to American life, but they did so as individuals, not as members of a Scotch-Irish community."

Here's why it would never happen, taken from the intro of the "Early Irish Myths and Sagas" book: "It is the Gaulish scriptures and inscriptions that attest to the true nature of the Celtic religion - no pantheon, but rather localised deities with localised functions; and this accords with what we know about the Celts politically, for they had little tolerance for centralised authority, even their own.” At some point the Celts seem to develop a culture quite distinct from other barbarian peoples - the Germanic tribes and Scythian nomads who commonly formed tribal confederacies. The Celts seem to have long been a lot more resistant to that idea, that might have been their main weakness when faced with successive Roman, Saxon and Norse invasions.

@GrandmasterFunk Also worth noting that any notions of unifying kings are usually myths, some tied to later romantic ideals, or perhaps a romantic image of the past clung onto by Celts living in a, by then, unified England and Wales ruled by one king. The idea of Arthur being the "king of Britain" is a later invention - if you look at the sources in the original pagan myths, he was more of a Heracles-type figure, a similar warrior cult, and talk of a "King of Ireland" is similarly fictional, they had high kings, but not a "king of Ireland" as such. If back then they couldn't even unite one country, they're not likely to unite what's left of Celtic territory as a whole. No reason they should, but it is a shame they seemed to lack organisation and coordination that allowed the Germanic tribes to not only resist Roman invasions, but sack Rome multiple times and bring the empire to its knees..

Robert Kelly The celts did sack Rome at least once that I know of. It's why they wanted to 'pacify' Gaul and ultimately subjugated them. Rome was generally more interested in the riches of the Mediterranean and the trade it moved. Other Mediterranean cultures were more similar to Rome as a result of inhabiting the same region and thus were more easily integrated into Rome.
