Celts

Indo-European ethnolinguistic group

The Celts  (/kɛlts/ , see pronunciation  for different usages) or Celtic peoples  (/ˈkɛltɪk/ ) were a collection of Indo-European peoples  in Europe  and Anatolia , identified by their use of Celtic languages  and other cultural similarities. Major Celtic groups included the Gauls ; the Celtiberians  and Gallaeci  of Iberia; the Britons  and Gaels  of Britain and Ireland; the Boii ; and the Galatians . The relation between ethnicity, language and culture in the Celtic world is unclear and debated; for example over the ways in which the Iron Age  people of Britain and Ireland should be called Celts. In current scholarship, 'Celt' primarily refers to 'speakers of Celtic languages' rather than to a single ethnic group.

"Celtic from the Centre", suggests proto-Celtic arose between these two zones, in Bronze Age Gaul, then spread in various directions. After the Celtic settlement of Southeast Europe  in the 3rd century BC, Celtic culture reached as far east as central Anatolia , Turkey .

The earliest undisputed examples of Celtic language are the Lepontic  inscriptions from the 6th century BC. Continental Celtic languages  are attested almost exclusively through inscriptions and place-names. Insular Celtic languages  are attested from the 4th century AD in Ogham inscriptions , though they were clearly being spoken much earlier. Celtic literary tradition begins with Old Irish  texts around the 8th century AD. Elements of Celtic mythology  are recorded in early Irish  and early Welsh  literature. Most written evidence of the early Celts comes from Greco-Roman  writers, who often grouped the Celts as barbarian  tribes. They followed an ancient Celtic religion  overseen by druids

The Celts were often in conflict with the Romans , such as in the Roman–Gallic wars , the Celtiberian Wars , the conquest of Gaul  and conquest of Britain . By the 1st century AD, most Celtic territories had become part of the Roman Empire . By c. 500, due to Romanisation  and the migration  of Germanic  tribes, Celtic culture had mostly become restricted to Ireland, western and northern Britain, and Brittany . Between the 5th and 8th centuries, the Celtic-speaking communities in these Atlantic regions emerged as a reasonably cohesive cultural entity. They had a common linguistic, religious and artistic heritage that distinguished them from surrounding cultures.

Insular Celtic culture diversified into that of the Gaels  (Irish , Scots  and Manx ) and the Celtic Britons  (Welsh , Cornish , and Bretons ) of the medieval and modern periods. A modern Celtic identity  was constructed as part of the Romanticist Celtic Revival  in Britain, Ireland, and other European territories such as Galicia . Today, Irish , Scottish Gaelic , Welsh , and Breton  are still spoken in parts of their former territories, while Cornish  and Manx  are undergoing a revival.

In the first century BC, Roman leader Julius Caesar  reported that the Gauls  called themselves 'Celts', Latin : Celtae , in their own tongue . Thus whether it was given to them by others or not, it was used by the Celts themselves. Greek geographer Strabo , writing about Gaul towards the end of the first century BC, refers to the "race which is now called both Gallic and Galatic", though he also uses Celtica as another name for Gaul. He reports Celtic peoples in Iberia  too, calling them Celtiberi  and Celtici . Pliny the Elder  noted the use of Celtici in Lusitania  as a tribal surname, which epigraphic  findings have confirmed

A Latin name for the Gauls, Galli  (pl.), may come from a Celtic ethnic name, perhaps borrowed into Latin during the Celtic expansion into Italy  from the early fifth century BC. Its root may be Proto-Celtic  *galno, meaning "power, strength" (whence Old Irish  gal "boldness, ferocity", Welsh gallu "to be able, power"). The Greek name Γαλάται  (Galatai , Latinized Galatae) most likely has the same origin, referring to the Gauls who invaded southeast Europe  and settled in Galatia . The suffix -atai might be a Greek inflection. Linguist Kim McCone suggests it comes from Proto-Celtic *galatis ("ferocious, furious"), and was not originally an ethnic name but a name for young warrior bands . He says "If the Gauls' initial impact on the Mediterranean world was primarily a military one typically involving fierce young *galatīs, it would have been natural for the Greeks to apply this name for the type of Keltoi that they usually encountered".

Because Classical writers did not call the inhabitants of Britain and Ireland Κελτοί (Keltoi) or Celtae, some scholars prefer not to use the term for the Iron Age inhabitants of those islands. However, they spoke Celtic languages, shared other cultural traits, and Roman historian Tacitus  says the Britons resembled the Gauls in customs and religion.
