Celtit

Celtit is a term used to describe a group of languages that were spoken by the Celtic peoples of ancient Europe. The term "Celtic" itself is derived from the Greek word "Keltoi," which was used by the ancient Greeks to refer to the people who lived in the region of Gaul (modern-day France, Belgium, and parts of Germany). The Celtic languages are part of the larger Indo-European language family and are known for their complex grammar and rich vocabulary.

The Celtic languages can be broadly divided into two main branches: Continental Celtic and Insular Celtic. Continental Celtic languages were spoken in the region of Gaul and included languages such as Gaulish, which was spoken by the Gauls, and Celtic languages spoken in the Iberian Peninsula, such as Celtiberian. Insular Celtic languages, on the other hand, were spoken on the islands of Great Britain and Ireland, including the languages of the Gaels and the Britons.

The most well-known of the Celtic languages are Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx, and Welsh. These languages have survived to the present day and continue to be spoken by communities in Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, and Wales, respectively. The study of Celtic languages is an important field in linguistics, as they provide valuable insights into the history and culture of the Celtic peoples and their interactions with other cultures in ancient Europe.
